Parenting teens and tweens? Welcome to your multi-award winning weekly audio hug where no question is a bad question, and curiosity beats judgment—every time.

Each week, I chat with expert guests to figure out what’s really going on in this fast-changing world, and how to connect with our teens so we can actually enjoy parenting them.

Susie - friend, mindfulness guru, and fellow parent in the trenches - brings her wisdom and personal stories to help us contemplate a different perspective.

No one has this parenting thing mastered—even parents or experts who seem like they do. Making mistakes isn’t failing, it’s learning. And good parenting? It’s a lifelong journey.

At the heart of it all, our kids just want to be loved for who they are, not just what they do.

💌 Do you have a question, a story, or just need to vent? Drop me a line at [email protected] (total privacy, no judgment, promise).

What the Independent Podcasting Awards Said:

🗣️ “The advice in this podcast is universally helpful—not just for parents of teenagers.”

🎙️ “A great mix of personal stories and professional insight—refreshing, informative, and packed with extra resources.”

😂 “The chemistry between Rachel and Susie is fantastic. It’s like sitting down with smart, funny friends who actually get it.”

We'd all love our children to breeze through school, enjoying a satisfying academic life, having lots of friends, and coming out at the end feeling a success. But what if you have a child that doesn't thrive in an academic environment? What if they can't or won't do the work? How do you deal with it and what techniques can you use to motivate them?
And our listener’s question comes from Emma:
'‘My fourteen year old is very musical, but wants to stop playing the piano now she’s grade four. I’m so upset about it, because whenever she seems to be good at something she goes so far then just gives up and wants to hang out with her friends. What should I do?"

My aunt and uncle provide a huge amount of free childcare so that their son and daughter-in-law can work, but many say that's not been their experience. The Boomers have become notorious as a generation who are known to have reaped the rewards of the post-war boom but who appear to be more interested in travelling and enjoying themselves than supporting the next generation in their child-rearing struggles.
Having a living parent who's 65 or older whilst raising a child under 18 is Pew Research's definition of someone in the Sandwich Generation. Being a Sandwich Generation parent in an ailing economy, means being pulled in many directions at the same time.
Pew says 'not only do many provide care and financial support to their parents and their children, but nearly four-in-ten (38%) say both their grown children and their parents rely on them for emotional support.'

In this episode we talk about the trials of the Sandwich Generation, and it's rather more nuanced than the headlines make it sound. We discuss how important it is for us all to build community, to have open discussions about our needs and expectations, and to live in the season of our life.

GENERATION: PEW RESEARCH DEFINITION

  • Gen Z – 1997 – 2012
  • Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996
  • Gen X were born between 1965 and 1980
  • Boomers can be broken into two segments (Beresford research) – the first is 1946 and 1954 and the second is 1955-1964
  • And the Silent Generation who were born between 1928 and 1945

We all have traditional times when our extended families come together to celebrate, give thanks, and share the warmth of mutual love. In the UK, December is a non-stop reel of songs about 'Simply having a wonderful Christmas time', and Instagram is awash with pictures of happy celebrations.
Being with our family can give us a welcome chance to relax and be accepted for who we are but - let's be honest - it can also bring out the worst in us. The break in routine - where everyone is forced together - can be a difficult adjustment. The expense can be crippling. Travelling to see family can be stressful, and then the raised expectations can set up the entire event for failure.

We've all been there, so here are our tips on how to make the most of those gatherings when you have teenagers in the house.

The anxiety epidemic:
In 2020 the UK charity Mental Health Foundation surveyed more than 2,000 children and found 50 per cent of teenagers aged 13-19 were experiencing anxiety they found hard to control.
Suggested books:

· The Anxiety Workbook for Teens: Activities to Help You Deal with Anxiety and Worry

· Breaking free from Childhood Anxiety and OCD, Eli Lebowitz.

The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt
https://www.anxiousgeneration.com/
Key points taken from UNWINDING ANXIETY: by Judson Brewer
Mindfulness is a key tool:
'If you feel anxious it’s an uncomfortable feeling so you start worrying about it. Worrying is seductive because it makes you feel like you’re doing something to get to a solution. All it does is to distract you from the negative emotion. It temporarily numbs the difficult feelings and feels more rewarding to your brain than the original emotion.'

'If your brain learns that worrying provides temporary relief, then whenever you’re anxious your brain will trigger worry. It becomes a compulsive habit over which you have no control, but the worrying makes you feel more anxious.'

· The first step to understanding your own anxiety is simply mapping your own habit loops/ What kind of situations trigger anxiety or other difficult feelings?

· Which behaviours has your brain learned to respond as a way to soothe or distract you?

· What is the result of those behaviours?'

When you get into an anxiety loop use:

RAIN:

  • Recognise difficult feelings.
  • Accept them and allow them to be there.
  • Investigate the sensations in your body and emotions bubbling up.
  • Note what’s going on, and simply observe yourself out of curiosity.

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?

Lone parenting:

One of Susie’s superpowers has been raising three kids alone, so this time we look at some of the issues of lone parents, and some top tips for managing well.

We talk about positive modelling of the opposite sex, the stresses on teenagers and how to support them, and how to use mindfulness to find your way through the stresses of doing it alone.

Links to resources I dipped into are below. We’d love to hear if there are any specific issues you’d like tackled.

Moody teenagers:

Simon’s son’s moods are bringing down the whole family. He asked us what he can do about it and how to know when it’s something more serious than just being a typical teenager.

We talk about the science behind what’s happening, the way in which it can trigger our fears as a parent, and what to do to coach a teen through moody phases so that it doesn’t impact the entire family.

We also give the top things to consider when wondering whether it’s something more serious that needs professional help.

If you know the film Mean Girls you're no stranger to the concept that teen friendship groups can be fraught with problems. Whilst the film illustrates an extreme version of the issue any parent of girls will be familiar with the angst they can cause. With the help of the book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman, Susie and I look at how you can coach your daughter positively through this tumultuous time. Below are top tips I gleaned from the book:
Wiseman breaks down the structure of these groups into roles.
The Queen Bee - the one who sets the tone for the group, and holds control.
The Sidekick - the one who backs up the Queen Bee.
The Banker - The one who collects information on members and uses it like a currency.
The Messenger - The one who passes on information to try and make peace between girls.
The Pleaser/Wannabe - The one who tries to please the others regardless of what she loses in the process.
The Torn Bystander - The one who sees what's happening but feels powerless to say anything.
The Target - The one who is undermined to consolidate power.
The Champion - The one who manages to have friends in different groups.
Power is wielded through teasing and gossip.
An excellent video to watch with your teen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zx11-9RU2U

The job of the parent is to help your daughter recognise what's happening and help her to strategise.
How to do this:
S: Stop and strategise.
E: Explain to 'mean girl' what it was that she doesn't like about the way she has been treated.
A: Affirm her right to exist without being humiliated.
L: Lock in/Lock out of the relationship.
Bill of Rights:
· What does she want and need in a friendship? Trust, reliability..
· What are her rights in a friendship? To be treated respectfully, with kindness and honesty.
· What are her responsibilities? To treat her friends ethically.
· What would a friend have to do or be like for her to end the friendship?
· What are her friend’s rights and responsibilities? To listen, even when it’s not easy to hear.
See www.culturesofdignity.com for more information.
HOW TO GET YOUR TEEN TO KEEP GOING PAST THE FIRST HURDLE:
Research by Seligman, Peterson and Duckworth. shows that the most successful people have seven key character traits.
· Zest
· Grit
· Self-control
· Hope-optimism
· Curiosity
· Gratitude
· Social intelligence

More than half of UK parents in one study were concerned that excessive screen time while schools were closed could cause addiction later down the line, so if you feel the boundaries have shifted you're not alone.
Don't panic: Common Sense Media and the WHO (when adding gaming disorder to their list of diseases) say it's not how many hours are spent on screens, it's what your teen is using screens for and the impact it has on how they feel and the other areas of their life.

HEALTHY EATING:
Our knowledge and understanding around eating disorders is far more developed than it ever was in the past. Most of us know that developing a disorder can be harrowing and life-threatening, and needs professional intervention. As a result, many of us are fearful of saying anything for fear of triggering a disorder.
Prevention begins with open communication - start early:

· Regularly discuss media messages that convey the idea only a certain body type is acceptable, and encourage your teen to question what they're seeing..
· Be kind to yourself about your own body.
· Teach your teen to tune into how their diet affects how they feel, and their energy levels.
· Encourage your teen to eat mindfully, and only when they're hungry.
· Eat together as a family
· Listen to our podcast on promoting a

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?

Our teens are growing up in a world of TikTok, You Tube and Instagram, places full of barely dressed people talking freely about body positivity and sex. It’s hardly surprising that they might have a different view of what’s acceptable from that of their parents.

In the UK, sex is legal at age 16, but any sexual images of a person under 18 are deemed child pornography, even when the person sending them is the creator.

Research compiled in the UK for Cultureframed.org:

1 in 7 under 18’s sends sext messages; 1 in 4 receives them. 1 in 8 who received a message has sent it to others without the sender’s consent.

Internet Watch Foundation, confirmed 68k cases of self-generated imagery that needed to be removed in 2020 – up 77% on the previous year.

In 80% of these cases, the victims were 11 to 13-year-old girls. Fewer than 8% of young women send nude pics because they genuinely want to.

Book: When You Lose It, Roxy and Gay Longworth.

Why do they sext?

  • Seeking someone’s approval
  • Long distance/online relationships, where there is a desire to have a sexual relationship
  • Feeling confident in their looks and they want to share with other people
  • Peer pressure
  • Fun
  • As a result of harassment, threats or blackmail

What to do?
Having regular talks about relationships, sex and consent. Use open questions, actively listen, and never be shocked.

  • What do they post about themselves?
  • What sites do they use and what draws them there?
  • What types of attention are they looking for online and from whom?
  • How do they decide what information to share?

Set clear guidelines and firewalls.

Boys?
Adolescent boys are under enormous pressure to impress their peers.

  • Ask boys why they would feel entitled to ask for these photos, knowing the pitfalls.
  • Ask them what pressures they feel from their friends and porn culture.
  • Do they know that it’s illegal to disseminate or ask for nude images of under age people?

If something's happened:

  • Speak to the school and parents of the other teenager to the get the material removed.
  • The IWF can search for explicit images or videos of your child and remove them.
  • Tell your girls about the #gurlsoutloud support hashtag.
  • A free service to remove pictures of under 18’s online. https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/

Answers range from taking the door off to pretending there are mice in the room.
In the next epsisode we’ll wade into the deep end and discuss the issue of teenagers and alcohol.
And discuss Alex’s question ‘How I stay connected to my teen when they pull away, and argue with me?’
Do you have any tips or answers? Or any great stories that will teach us what not to do?
