Description

Do you have a teen at home who's all sweet and loving with one parent, but treats the other like they're a bad smell? Karen says she feels like running away because she's walking on eggshells in her own house, with a daughter who is rude to her but sweet and kind to her husband.Why do they do it and how can we, as both a parent and partner, make things better for everyone? Also, it's been around since the Ancients: Personal expression using hair dyes, make-up, nail varnish, piercing and tattoos is something teenagers gravitate towards, and some parents struggle with. How should we respond to any requests or demands, and what restrictions should we be putting in place?RESOURCES:Favoured parent:https://www.parents.com/parenting/better-parenting/teenagers/you-might-not-be-your-teens-preferred-parent-right-now-but-that-doesnt-mean-they-love-you-less/https://imperfectfamilies.com/child-prefers-one-parent/https://www.metroparent.com/parenting/advice/kid-prefers-parent/https://theweek.com/articles/915007/why-kids-have-favorite-parentTeenage Expression:https://gracieopulanza.com/psychology-of-teenagers-the-tattoo-and-piercing-generation/https://yourteenmag.com/health/physical-health/tattoos-for-teens https://www2.ljworld.com/news/2015/mar/24/double-take-teen-tattoos-are-lasting-expression-wo/https://raisingchildren.net.au/teens/behaviour/peers-friends-trends/tattoos-piercings#talking-with-your-child-about-tattoos-and-body-piercings-nav-titlehttps://teamstage.io/tattoos-in-the-workplace-statistics/https://www.elle.fr/Societe/News/L-epilation-nouvelle-source-de-conflit-mere-fille-Temoignages-4028381https://lorenaoberg.co.uk/

Teenagers Untangled is an audio hug for parents going through the teenage years, made by two mums with a background in coaching. When our kids are little there are lots of ways in which we can meet up with other parents to share, and laugh about our problems, whether at the school gates or playgroups. But once they head off to senior school those regular points of contact with other parents fall away, and the problems can be more difficult. That’s why we started this podcast, to chat about what it takes to raise a teen, and hopefully have a bit of light relief along the way.
