Best friends Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton survived their chaotic teenage years together. Now they're back in the trenches with five teens between them - but armed with laughs, survival tactics and the kind of wisdom that only comes from being former rule-breakers themselves.
Each week they’ll reminisce and commiserate as they attempt to make sense of the often mind-boggling behaviour of modern teens…because the best teen advice comes from those who know every trick in the book.
Mum, dads, carers, parents, step-parents, grandparents and yes, even you teens, are welcome, encouraged even, to step into the world of The Teen Commandments.
When not parenting, riding her horse or walking her 3 dogs, or caring for her other numerous pets, Sara Cox can be found broadcasting on BBC Radio 2, presenting television shows and writing one of her 3 Sunday Times Best-selling books, Sara can be found in her garden shed with Clare recording this podcast.
Leaving the chaos of her own teenagers behind her, with a coffee in hand and headphones in, hairdresser and single mum Clare Hamilton hops on a train each week from her home in Manchester to travel to Sara’s for a sleepover and to record this podcast.

As ever there are some absolute cracking emails in this week’s episode.
One listener reveals the most cringing story involving a dog and a used condom, plus this week Teen Commandments celebrates the world of teens and their parents' embracing differences in sexuality, with a gorgeous email from a listener.
Brace yourself, a dance mom has been in touch - and yes, it’s an exhausting life. And Cathy, an OG TC crew member, has been in touch about a rocky incident with her 16-year-old involving police.
Plus, another listener has discovered some little blue pills in their teenager’s bedroom!

Gather round everyone whilst Sara & Clare try and unpack the astonishing minds of teenagers. This week the best friends want to know why kids are taught the most annoying musical instruments? And yes recorders and violins, they are looking at you! Sara’s let her teenagers do their own holiday packing. What could possibly go wrong? And why do teens have to take litres of micellar water? Talking of water… water parks are dissected in detail that we can all relate to! Clare ponders what you do as a parent when your teens suddenly declare everything on holiday is “boring”? Plus, Sara and Clare discuss teenage summer jobs; the highs, the lows and the confidence boost they can bring. Have you done a high adrenalin activity with your teens? What’s the most ridiculous thing your teens packed for holiday and what summer jobs are your teens doing this year?

Countless cracking emails from the listeners this week, with stories of teenagers pooing in strange places and pocketing half penny sweets.
A listener’s teenager has returned from DofE and yes, it’s gone as well as you’d probably expect. Another tells us about the consequences of inviting the ‘fun boys’ to her teenage party.
There’s talk of empty nests and the mixed feelings it brings plus some personal news: Clare’s popped her paneer cherry.
PS. Sara & Clare are back on the Gogglebox sofa again this Friday - 9pm Channel 4, see you there.

Fresh from the Gogglebox sofa, Sara and Clare are back in the Teen Commandments shed trying to work out the mind-bending behaviour of teenagers.
This week Sara’s been spotted whilst heading off on a romantic jaunt in Italy, Clare’s been rustling up a curry and they’ve both discovered Mother Root.
The male teens in their lives have had an eventful week. Sara’s son was heading off to a fancy dress party and Clare’s son was supposed to be hosting a Love Island party.
There’s talk of teenage hairstyles and Clare has breaking news from the hairdressing world… perms are back and it’s not just for the girls.
The long summer nights are firmly here, which means the teens are pushing the boundaries and trying to stay out as late as possible.
Email Sara and Clare with your terrible teen hairstyles, and have your teen boys got a perm?

We’ve dived back into the inbox and there’s some absolute corkers from you!
In this ‘Your Turn’ a teen steals from mum’s snack stash so she’s getting sweet revenge by spilling the beans on how their family’s ‘Ask Me Anything’ policy led to red faces all round…
Another mum introduces us to the ‘chocolate fairy’ - a wholesome tradition or something that belongs on Urban Dictionary?
During recording Clare gets a LIVE text from her teen. What madly urgent request could he possibly have?
And as ever we’re never far from a bit of chat about mums and their not-so-secret stash of massage wands. #IYKYK

After nearly 3 decades in showbiz has Clare managed to get Sara cancelled? Brace yourselves as the pair make their Celebrity GoggleBox debut (catch up with it on Channel 4).
Before they go into hiding, Sara & Clare are comparing teachers then and now. From firm favourites and fisticuffs between school staff to uniform rules and ski pant punishments - it’s fair to say that times have thankfully changed.
Summer is in full swing and teens are heading on parent-free hols, whether it’s a lads’ jaunt to Ayia Napa or a cider-drenched UK trip, how do you balance wanting your teens to spread their wings with worrying about tracking them through a rainforest?
Please keep sending us your brilliant stories for our ‘Your Turn’ episodes and we’d love to hear from any teachers out there, plus of course tales of YOUR teen’s travels and your teenage trips from back in the day.

Sara and Clare are back to read all your excellent emails in this week’s Your Turn.
A listener’s been in touch about a not-so-secret garden and another has mortified her son by inviting all the teachers round.
With the help of a brilliant listener, Sara and Clare embark on the history of tampons and there’s a proper gasp moment at a listener's confessions of teenage rage.
Plus, Sara and Clare have some big TV news. No spoilers, but it contains the words Goggle and Box.

Sara and Clare are back, trying to work out the chaotic minds of teenagers.
This week a new gaming gadget has appeared in Sara’s house and Clare’s horrified her teenage son by drunkenly dancing in his bedroom with her pals.
Sara & Clare discuss the highs and lows of first love - the heartbreak, the jealousy, the lost art of slamming down of phones, and how do we help our teens be kind when relationships end?
The harsh reality of bullying is discussed; the long-lasting effects, who’s talking to who, the chaos of tween friendship groups and the social media FOMO.
There’s also insight into the hormonal minds of our esteemed hosts…. we don’t care that Sara can’t remember what the B word is or that Clare uses her phone torch to try and find her phone!
Send us your stories of first loves and have you crossed paths with your school bully as an adult?

It’s time to open the inbox again and get your stories.
A non-parent has been in touch, which Sara & Clare are thrilled about. He’s just here for the laughs and to share his touching if toe-curling story of coming out to his parents.
Another parent has waved her teenage son off to his first festival and one mum has been reduced to tears by her teenager.
A trio of teens have been bickering over a Sunday Roast, plus lie back and enjoy a fruity story of a quickie gone wrong.
We’d love to hear your festival stories and your experiences of you, or your teens coming out.

It’s been a busy week at TCHQ: Sara’s taken out a swanky gym membership to bond with her son, and Clare’s been left totally speechless by her teenage son’s revelation.
Sara and Clare confess their petty theft crimes and there’s chat about their raving days! How times have changed… this week Sara got refused entry to a swanky Soho bar because she was eating an apple! Thankfully, Clare was on hand to film it all: Check out their Instagram for the video evidence.

It’s time for the legends, aka the Teen Commandments listeners, to share their brilliant teen tales.
One mum is all L plates & pure panic as she braces herself for the teen’s driving lessons. Another mum wonders if anyone else has a teenager who will either end up running the world or locked up on G Wing!
A listener has absolutely won the award for the most unhinged bedroom decorations as a teenager plus Crocs on country walks are back, and so is the Kickers chat.
Meanwhile, Sara is very happy with her supermarket T-shirt and Clare is finally off the meds.
Get in touch with Sara & Clare directly… How often do you wash your comfy bra? And we absolutely want photos of your teen bedrooms please!
