Have you ever wondered how social media affects your daughter’s brain, concentration, and self-esteem? Why does she seem more stressed and anxious?

Join me as we unravel the complexities of the teenage years and discover practical strategies for fostering a deeper connection with your teen. In today's episode, we'll be exploring a topic that resonates with many mums: figuring out the underlying reasons behind your daughter's persistent grumpiness and anger. Many mums grapple with the challenge of understanding and navigating their daughter's emotional landscape during the often difficult years of adolescence. But before you jump to conclusions and assume her anger is directed solely at you, let me just say that her anger is directed at the situation she finds herself in, not at you though I know it doesn’t always feel like this. Let's peel back the layers and explore the multiple factors contributing to her attitude. Listen in to find out more..

Last week I talked about the nervous system and possibly too much but do you know what? It’s important for us to know this stuff. In this episode, we delve deeper into the misconceptions surrounding teen girl behavior. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not just about hormones. Traditional parenting tactics often exacerbate the situation, leaving both parents and daughters feeling lost and fearful. Too often we’re told that if our teen girls are struggling, it’s their hormones at play and the solution? To control, to micromanage, to give them no choice. This is what traditional parenting strategies are about. Does this help? No, it exacerbates the situation, it makes her a lot more fearful and you, more lost. She is scared beyond belief and resorts to one of three behaviours. Tune in as we explore the root causes and uncover strategies to foster understanding and connection, rather than control.

Join me this week as I dive into negative behavior patterns. Explore the underlying reasons behind them, dispel common misconceptions, and discover actionable strategies to use now in the present moment. Tune in for powerful insights and practical tips to break free from harmful cycles and foster positive change.

Self harm is obviously harm against yourself whilst self care is care for yourself. In this episode I talk about the two topics I have discussed recently - self harm and my accident and how it makes me feel. I also talk about feeling worthless and how trying to do it all makes our daughters feel worthless as they aren’t allowed to do anything. We mirror the exact behaviours we don’t like in ourselves. We don’t need to do it all as Mums, as it can result in traumatic incidents that literally stop you in your tracks. Listen in to find out how to turn things around to connect to yourself and her.

So in this episode I tell you why Teen Whisperer has been AWOL and the effect it has had on my teen daughter.
