There is no challenge Becks for this episode – as a teenage parent of two 15 year olds, there is enough to talk about! Claire and Becks explore: How things change when your children become teenagers in terms of your ‘control’ over their lives – becoming a ‘Consultant’ rather than a ‘Manager’. Why your relationship with a teenager is in some ways very similar to the relationship you had with them as toddlers – this is all about brain development and helping them to learn life skills. What it’s like being a teenager (especially now!) and some of the challenges they face in their day to day lives. Honesty and trust – how do we foster this in our relationships with our teenagers? Taking risks – can you still have boundaries and if so, how do you implement them without being overbearing? And finally …why are they soooo messy?!
