What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?

Lone parenting:

One of Susie’s superpowers has been raising three kids alone, so this time we look at some of the issues of lone parents, and some top tips for managing well.

We talk about positive modelling of the opposite sex, the stresses on teenagers and how to support them, and how to use mindfulness to find your way through the stresses of doing it alone.

Links to resources I dipped into are below. We’d love to hear if there are any specific issues you’d like tackled.

Moody teenagers:

Simon’s son’s moods are bringing down the whole family. He asked us what he can do about it and how to know when it’s something more serious than just being a typical teenager.

We talk about the science behind what’s happening, the way in which it can trigger our fears as a parent, and what to do to coach a teen through moody phases so that it doesn’t impact the entire family.

We also give the top things to consider when wondering whether it’s something more serious that needs professional help.
