Teens and food... what a minefield 💥

It can be a motivator or a huge place for worry depending where you teen is at! Too much, not enough, grey food, sweets all the time, through to restrictive and all of these cause concern! Food equals survival after all!

To help I have released a 🌟 New Podcast Episode 🌟

Teen Food Choices

How do you have your say, manage your concerns and how can you understand the HUGE WHY behind this?? Because rarely are food choices about the food!!

ANXIOUS TEEN? Try these!

Some quick swaps and a funny one to finish with! 😆

Anxiety is all about the fear of not being able to deal with certain situations. Its not just worrying about "what could happen" its how they feel THEY will deal with this awful scenario.

You can massively help them feel capable, confident, and comfortable to take back some control with this!

⭐️Good Luck to all Teens on Exam Results Day!!!⭐️

No matter what results they get parents, remember ...
👉These results aren't everything
👉Celebrate the effort it took to get to today!
👉No matter what, school is now DONE! Wahoo!

😟 If it didn't go right... you will feel bad for them...now imagine how they feel about it... today is about them and their feelings!

😃 If it did go well, its still all about them and their work and effort. Big praise to them... no "told you revision was important" or anything along those lines!

🥳 Lastly, please let your teen celebrate how they want today, this is their moment. Let them choose how they want to do it!

Good luck!

HELP ME! 😫
I have finally written a parenting book for teenagers and for love nor money i cant work out a title! 🫣
What would grab your attention? Any ideas??

A bit if insight - the back Blurb.

Teenagers aren’t broken — they’re just under construction.

Welcome to the teenage years: where silence is loud, eye rolls are fluent, and your once-chatty child potentially lives behind a closed door (possibly in a pit, full of washing with spoons forks and cups everywhere!). If you’ve ever wondered whether to knock, run, or send a rescue team — this book is for you.

In this refreshing, funny, and deeply practical guide, teen therapist, youth worker and parent, Rachael flips the script on how to raise teens. Instead of battling through the chaos, you'll learn how to build a relationship that works, one rooted in trust, empathy, and coaching — not controlling, fixing, or refereeing every drama.

Rachael shares what adolescents wish their parents knew but don’t know how to say — and how you can show up in ways that let them flourish without losing your own mind in the process.

Inside, you’ll discover:

How to be your teen’s coach, not their referee

Why empathy ALWAYS trumps fixing (and what to say instead)

How to survive the emotional landmines of friends, frienemies, rules, and the Internet

How to step back without checking out

And how to create a relationship that helps your teen become confident, independent — and maybe even fun to be around again

It’s not about fixing your teen. It’s about unlocking what already works — your connection!

🌟The golden rules for Teens🌟

I talk a lot about having minimal unbreakable rules and this was golden when I saw it!

As much as this is a little bit of fun there is method in these rules. This is about having limited "rules" and maximum flexibility with your teenager!

It's the easiest way to a happy life for all. So consider are you a bare minimum rule household or a "cover all basis" with rules house?

Always remember if a teenager wants to do something 9/10 they will find their way regardless. So less rules means they are more likely to follow these... less likely to think "i always break the rules anyway so what does it matter".

It's not about letting them run rouge and do anything they want. Its about safety and security but at a level that will be followed. More rules = more arguments, more disagreements and potentially more dissapointment for all!

Just something to think about! :)

I'm just gonna leave this here....

Ironic how a teenager who's worrying probably sees their parent worrying about them.

This is not to say its your fault but highlight the opportunity to show how to deal with anxiety. If they can see you dealing with it, it will make it possible that they can.

Likewise if they see you worrying and struggling... why shouldn't they! There is clearly something to worry about.

They won't see the cycle that your worrying about the affects of anxiety on them... they will see you worrying because they aren't coping... which all adds to the belief that they CANT do this.

So take the opportunity, show how to deal with anxiety and worry and show them you have every faith they can... and will... make their way through this.

And if they steal your anxiety coping mechanisms all the better!!

What do you think this stands for???
Any guesses...

How do you feel about text talk? Love it... Hate it? Just don't get it?

Just a little Monday fun but also to confirm with practice these things can start to make sense... your teen doesn't need you to learn a new way of communicating but you absolutely should recognise your reactions to something new/different.
