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

Unpopular Opinion: Parenting Teens Is Tougher Than Newborns

A heads up: This episode discusses child sexual abuse and may be better to listen to with headphones if little ears are around.

As parents, we know that conversations with our kids, regardless of age, can sometimes go in one ear and out the other. But sometimes, there is a conversation so important that we must make sure it sticks.

In this special episode, Tegan Natoli, host of 'This Glorious Mess,' is joined by Triple M Rush Hour Sydney Host and founder of Gotch4Life, Gus Worland, who is also the founder of Gotcha For Life. They discuss how to talk to your child about their safety, how you can adapt those conversations for any age child, and the resources available to help you navigate those chats with confidence.

For more information click here. Or listen to this episode of our news podcast The Quicky.
