I’d like to introduce you to my new podcast, ‘Raising Teens’. I am really excited to add something for those who prefer listening to reading. Or perhaps you like to do both?
When it comes to raising little ones, we often feel as though we have a small a village around us, in morning play groups, meeting other parents at tots’ birthday parties, or on the sides of sports fields. It can feel like we have it… mostly… under control. Until our child gradually emerges into their teen years and so much changes! It is a unique time for both you and your child. Sometimes, everything you thought you knew goes out the window and you’re struggling to keep up. You look around and the village seems to have diminished. Raising Teens will be part of your support system – your village! There will be something here for everyone who cares for teens. Most importantly, this is your resource, so we want to hear from you – your challenges, your suggestions – you are part of this community.
I will be uploading a new episode each week, along with some related articles.
Season 1 – Episode 1 is about Teens and Sleep.
Update: Season 4 onwards has a big change! I am so excited about it. I become the host and interview some incredible experts on teenagers. Look out for current topics. My heart is that this podcast will become part of your village and that it will be a place where you can find support.
Stay tuned, wherever you like to listen to podcasts… or go to the Raising Teens podcast page, where you will find links to all the latest episodes and related articles that dig a little deeper into the podcast topic.
