The world has changed. We are bringing up our children in a very different environment from that of our own childhood.
As a result, many parents are worried as to whether the advice and support that they are offering their child is in fact correct. How can they be sure they are saying the right things?
In this episode, I chat with Matt Douglas - a veteran educator - about the opportunities available to our children nowadays. We discuss how parents can better understand and communicate with their teens.
We address the common pressures that our teens are currently facing - and how parents can play a role in supporting them through these modern-day challenges; and the critical importance of mental health in the lives of our teens.
Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening!

If you are looking for support at a deeper level for your child,
then please book a call with me. Invariably they might only need a
couple of sessions. But if we can give our kids the tools to
improve their emotional wellbeing NOW - then you’re more likely to
alleviate the longer term damage to their mental health.
