Parenting teenagers untangled. π Your Weekly Hug
Hello, I'm Rachel Richards, former BBC Correspondent, CNBC Europe World News Anchor and mum, on a mission to make parenting teens much less stressful, and even enjoyable.
Why not try listening to my award-winning βhugβ where you can put down the baggage your parents handed you and relax.
Itβs your chance to reflect on what's in your baggage; what's still working, and what needs to be tossed aside. You'll also pick up skills and ideas to help you navigate each new stage of your parenting journey.
Each week, I pick a topic, research it, and find you the best answers. Whether interviewing experts, chatting with my mindfulness guru friend, Susi Asli, or getting the lowdown from my own teenagers.
You'll hear what experts are saying about the problems we face and the way other parents are struggling. Itβs a chance to think about your parenting, shame and judgement free.
As the world leading expert on your own child you can then make your own choices about what works for you and your family.
Do you have a question, a story, or just need to vent? Drop me a line at teenagersuntangled@gmail.com (total privacy, no judgment, promise).
