Description

As a parent, have you ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer size of your job and the range of the responsibilities it involves? Do you ever feel like you've done enough, or are you always suffering with the nagging feeling that you are falling short and it's your fault that things aren't perfect? Well Clare certainly has, so she asked us to talk about Mom guilt. What we discovered has blown our minds. Also, have you ever had that horrible feeling that your teenager is getting too friendly with the wrong kind of people? What do you do if you don't like their new friends? We researched what the experts say about it and talk about things that you can consider before wading in. References: Helena Morrissey, Good Time to be a Girlhttps://www.todaysparent.com/family/parenting/why-mom-guilt-is-the-biggest-lie-of-all/https://www.choosingtherapy.com/mom-guilt/https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-teen-doctor/201605/10-tips-when-you-dont-your-teens-friendshttps://grownandflown.com/what-not-say-dont-like-teens-friends/https://www.empoweringparents.com/article/does-your-child-have-toxic-friends-6-ways-to-deal-with-the-wrong-crowd/

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.
