Description

Parenting tips and discussions for parents of teens and tweens. You don't have to be an expert to be a great parent. We’re on a mission to give you the self-belief, knowledge, and skills to do your best.  At the heart of that is the need to be more curious; less critical. One of the hardest things about parenting teenagers is that we're often not prepared for the problems we have to tackle, which is why we welcome any questions you have about problems you face. Rachel uses her journalism skills to dig for answers, looking at what a broad range of experts are saying about them. Susie then brings her wealth of expertise and experience in mindfulness to the discussion as we talk through the options for parenting in an imperfect world, offering tips on the things we've learned along the way.What the Award judges said:  'The advice within the podcast on how to deal with what life throws at you is universally helpful, not just for those with teenagers.'  'A good mix of personal stories alongside professional insight; it's addressing something different, and helps its audience with the references and extra information provided in episode notes.'  'The rapport between the hosts, Rachel and Susie, is great with a good mix of them chatting, but also providing context for the listener and remembering them within the conversation.' For more discussion and tips, you can find us on Facebook and Instagram.
