Teenagers today often have different political views to us, it’s a generational thing. But when these differences strain our relationship with our kids, it’s important to have some skills up your sleeve to find a mutual understanding and respect. In this episode, Ginni and Jo advise a teenager facing this dilemma at home.

And, if you’re stuck for dinner table conversation starters with your kids, our hosts share some fun tips to keep things light and enjoyable at the end of the day.

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
