The Teen Commandments
by Sara Cox Productions and Audio Always
Best friends Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton survived their own chaotic teenage years together and now they’re parenting teenagers themselves. With five teens between them, they’re back in the thick of it, trying to survive the wild world of modern teenage behaviour with humour, honesty and a lot of nostalgia. Each week Sara and Clare unpack the realities of raising teenagers, from mood swings and boundary pushing to why teens communicate mainly in grunts. Expect funny stories and real talk from two former rule breakers who know exactly what teens are capable of… because they did it all first. The Teen Commandments is more than a parenting podcast, it’s for anyone who misses those carefree teenage years. Get ready to reminisce over teen tales and nonsense behaviour and ask yourself, did we really do that?
