Being a teenager has changed. A lot. There’s TikTok, vaping, dick pics, snap chat maps...and all the things that were once thought as fixed - like gender and identity - are fluid and open to interpretation. 

Dr Ginni Mansberg and clinical psychologist Jo Lamble have over 20 years experience as clinicians and parents. They know first hand what concerns parents today about raising adolescents, and they see it daily in their practices.

So they’ve written a book about it called The New Teen Age. Because that’s exactly what it is. And they join Mia now to talk about it…
