Episode 46: Thankyou for this light-hearted, creative approach to such an important topic.

Teenage boys have always been susceptible to working out but post covid & tech the pressure has gone through the roof.

You have changed our world and you will never really know how indebted we are to you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.....my wife and I just wish we had discovered your pod casts a year ago! We have both listened, absorbed and changed the way we parent off the back of such amazing insight of how our children see the world. Our home is now a calmer, more interactive and wholesome environment and it's all down to you. We have finally realised that we have been the blockage to the communication with our girls and have changed. We now have so much happier girls who feel able to relax in the home environment. I'm not great with words but you have changed our world and you will never really know how indebted we are to you. I have tried to listen to many podcasts in the past but yours has stuck a chord and is so relevant and relatable. Thanks and we look forward to more insightful help in our lives x

The anger chat in Episode 45 was fascinating , so valuable for all parents.

This is brilliant, so lovely hearing you both chat away and about something that is so important to us all. Re anger- so valuable & re leaving & loosing things, I never knew the science but also knew my children didn’t do it because they chose to. It was very annoying with a daily 90min round trip , but I still drove them back as they panicked so … I always felt the dyslexic mind didn’t really help much either … 😂 all in it together xxx bravo 💖what you do.

Great episode, as always, thank you

I loved your episode on over-reacting. I hadn’t realizad I respond exactly the way I was brought up. We are a family of over-reacters and it explains so much. (Must be our Italian genes) I will definitely try the acronym and put it on a post-it in my mirror. Thank you again for such valuable advice, Claudia

My newfound educational coffee break

I’m really enjoying your podcast series and feel comforted and informed whilst navigating life with two teenage girls (15 and 13). Thank you so much 😊

Just what I needed!

I spent ages trying to "fix" my teenager when I stumbled across these podcasts and discovered they don't need fixing but understanding. You have helped me understand my daughter and be able to talk to her, handle her and most importantly help her get through this difficult time. Being that these podcasts come from presenters who actually have teenagers themselves makes the program "real" because they really understand what we are going through and are able to advise us first hand with what they did, how they handled it. Keep up the great work, and thank you

Massively useful and thought provoking

Hi guys - I just wanted to let you know how much I value your podcast and how helpful and reassuring I find it. And the timing of this episode on overreacting was uncannily perfect: I have listened to it twice! I've actually found it massively useful and thought provoking in relation to a relationship with a Mum friend of mine who really triggers me and gets inside my head so I thought that would be useful to say: that its all so useful for all of our relationships, not just those we have with our kids. Anyway, huge thanks for all your work and top tips and all good things! x Tara

Almost Perfect

I do love this podcast and find it so helpful around numerous difficult subject matters with our teenage children. I do however wonder if your own children are really that perfect. It seems that whenever you mention your children you are relieved they have never been interested in drugs, vaping, porn etc etc when I am sure they have. It would be more genuine if you talked about a situation that you had to deal with rather than I asked my children who thankfully just aren’t interested in X but here’s what to do with your kids who have.

Just what I was looking for

I really wanted a normal podcast of parents who don’t pretend they or their teenagers are perfect. I have learnt a lot of handy tips, and things I hadn’t even thought of. It is hard when a lot of people don’t like to talk and they make out their children are wonderful. This feels like a safe place to explore all topics and even to message the hosts! I like that it is modern as well so really keeps up with the times, social media and the world in general. They should send this out the moment your child turns 13!!

Superb!

Loving this show. I find it so helpful, practical and real. I like the "nuggets", the research and personal stories. Keep it up!!! - Jamie from America

To say you've been a lifesaver is an understatement.

I just want to say a huge than you to both of you. I have 2 teenagers (girl and boy) and struggle without a support network as I live in Istanbul, far from family and in a culture that doesn't discuss these kinds of issues. I discovered you in September and have listened to every episode on my way to and from work. To say you have been a lifesaver is an understatement. Your wisdom has completely changed how I relate to my teens. I can't wait for more episodes. In the meantime wishing you both a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Thank you so much. I'm extremely grateful and not so terrified now.

Hey ladies, I'm new to your podcast after looking for ways to support my son after his move up to senior school. Not quite a teenager but has changed so much and is really struggling to settle into senior school. He has gone from being a popular child with lots of friendships to spending breaktimes on his own and not finding his tribe. Listening to Episode 26 has given me so so much more understanding of how and where I can work with him to get him settle in. Thank you so much for sharing. I am extremely grateful and not so terrified now. I will be staying tuned for sure. Sending love.

You should be at the top of the podcast charts!!

Thank you so much for all the research and time you put into this podcast and all the others. It was so interesting and enlightening. It encouraged me to challenge some of my internal thoughts around gift giving and my own expectations!! You should be top of the podcast charts!! I found you when my son started experiencing anxiety and listening to your podcast on that subject helped me so much and how to approach it and it worked. Thanks again.

So helpful.

Hi Rachel, I am very much enjoying your teenage podcast - so helpful and reassuring. My teen is now in secondary school and full teenage mode! Girls, fashion and Snapchat are key to his existence!

Thank you.

Hi Rachel and Susie, I want to start with thank you. I'm a secondary school teacher and have been working with teenagers quite successfully for 30 years however was totally unprepared for parenting a teenager myself.

Really enjoyed listening to this.

Thanks so much for this. Really enjoyed listening as I am sure many, many others would do too. Was very taken by surprise by how hard I found it, so a lot resonated with me and your explanation and tips are spot on.

You guys are awesome!

Some people really want/need help but cannot afford to go to a therapist. You and Susie are really, really helping people. I kid you not, when I listen to you two it makes me feel so calm and puts a smile on my face. You guys are so upbeat, honest and caring and most importantly, give great advice. I've tried to listen to alternatives and my God they are boring! Keep going.

THANK YOU so much!

Hello! I live in Paris, and discovered your podcast yesterday. I was looking for a pick-me up after my 13 year old daughter left for a week at her dad' place, and our week together had been particularly tense and difficult. I cannot stop listening to you!!! Firstly, your voices are so soothing and reassuring, it feels as if 'I hear you, everything will be alright, just be kind to yourself.' But most importantly, every piece of advice you give resonates so much with me! Every time you say something, I can't help myself. 'Wow, that's amazing, I need to try this and it makes so much sense!' I've actually started taking notes in a brand new little notebook I was keeping for a special occasion. So, from the bottom of my heart (and probably soon from my daughter's & the rest of the family's!) THANK YOU so much. You sound like two amazing human beings and your children are really lucky to have you as their mums. Looking forward to listening to you soon. Kind regards, Alexandra

Love, love your podcasts!

All of them. So current in today's society. You certainly have one of the best podcasts available on teenage issues. Thank you! I will recommend your series to the teachers at my daughter's school. They also find the girl issues difficult. I am certain it will help them a lot. I just had a short discussion with my son about pornography, thanks to your podcast. I've also forwarded it to my husband. I know it will help him prepare for his chit-chat-serious-talk-about-pornography in future.

Parenting Tips 8: Vaping

After I listened to this podcast I talked to my teens about it. The part that hit hard with them was when I told them that the vaping industry mainly relies on young people like themselves becoming hooked on it, treating them like mugs! They didn’t like that idea.
