As our kids grow into teens they’re bound to test their limits. It’s normal! But how far do we let them go before we draw the line? This week Ginni and Jo hear from a parent who thinks their teen may have pushed their boundaries too far.

Plus, we give advice to a parent who is concerned that their child is too shy to talk to other adults, including their own grandparents.

Being a teenager has changed. A lot. There’s TikTok, vaping, d*ck pics, there are Snap maps, selfies and filters...and it's all a potential battlefield for parents where the stakes feel impossibly high. So welcome to some real parenting talk. As both clinicians and parents, Dr. Ginni Mansberg and clinical psychologist Jo Lamble know first-hand how challenging it can be to raise adolescents. This is why they're bringing their common-sense expertise to Mamamia’s Help! I Have A Teenager. Every week Dr. Ginni and Jo will be answering your questions, and you can submit them at podcast@mamamia.com.au
