Australian Psychologist and author, Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg is an eminent resource for teenagers and their parents, and has fascinating insights on the lives and workings of adolescent minds that comes from decades of research and practice. He is prolific in the field of adolescent psychology, and has written books, writes articles and speaks around the world on topics of parenting, technology and mental health, adolescent development and adolescent suicide. He offers some useful tips for parents, based on the recognition of the additional challenges that come with parenting in this fast-paced technological era. He discusses how teenagers are the most vulnerable generation of young people to date and parents and teachers need to be on their game. Dr. Carr-Gregg talks about the risk factors and protective factors in relation to teen mental health and the evidence that this generation struggles to cope with stress. Contrary to some in the field, Dr. Carr-Gregg is optimistic about the space technology occupies in the lives of young people. If it is used in a positive, productive way, he says, there can be real benefits seen by engaging with programs and smartphone apps that have been designed to support mental health in a wide variety of ways. We also discuss two of his books “The Princess Bitchface Syndrome” and “The Prince Boofhead Syndrome” and he offers advice on how to combat oppositional teens. An insightful and informative interview that should not be missed.
