Parenting Teenagers Untangled: The Audio Hug
United Kingdom
Приєднався 15 лют 2023
Realistic tips and discussions for any parent raising teens or tweens.
We don't have to be experts to parent our kids well. We know, and love, our teens more than anyone else in the world so what we really need is self-belief based on skills and knowledge.
We’re here to give you that self-belief. Welcome to Teenagers Untangled, the audio hug for parents going through the teen and tween years, made by two mums who’re going through them too.
You can hear us talk about what the experts say, and how we can use their advice in real life. Hopefully, we’re also able to offer a bit of light relief along the way.
For more discussion and tips, you can find us on Facebook and Instagram. The website, www.teenagersuntangled.comF

124: How to be a good parent to teenagers, using evidence. An interview with Matilda Gosling
Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1882538/open_sms)
It's one thing to get advice on how to parent, it's another to have independent studies that give real evidence on how well one approach works rather than another.
Faced with raising two young kids in a COVID lockdown, social scientist and skilled researcher Matilda Gosling looked for a book that gave her advice that was based on sound evidence. She discovered that such a book didn't exist, so set out to write it.
Described by investigative journalist Hannah Barnes as 'A rare entity: a parenting book that is accessible, well evidenced, practical, gritty and not hectoring. In short, one that is genuinely helpful.' I knew we all needed to hear about what Matilda had found.
THE BOOK
Teenagers: The Evidence Base, weaves together insights from fields including social and experimental psychology, neuroscience, family systems and adolescent development.

In the interview we cover:
1. Navigating the ups and downs of the teenage years - The book discusses how the teenage years are not just constant "storms and stress" but have complex weather patterns with both positive and negative aspects.
2. Supporting teenagers' identity exploration - The book advises letting teenagers experiment with different identities and not labeling them, to allow them room to continue developing.
3. Facilitating healthy friendships and relationships - The discussion covers how parents can support their teenager's friendships, even if they don't approve of all their friends, and have conversations about healthy romantic relationships.
4. Talking to teens about sex and sexuality - The book emphasizes the importance of parents proactively discussing sex, sexuality, and porn with teenagers, rather than leaving it to schools or the media.
5. Maintaining self-care as a parent - The book stresses that parents taking care of their own needs and well-being is crucial for supporting their teenager's well-being.

😂😂😂 Feminist women that don’t want men to be men. Wahhhhhh.
Your topics are always relevant and/or relatable. I’m so grateful for your podcast 🙏🏼
Oh my goodness, that's such a lovely thing to say. Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it! You've made my day. If you have any particular things you'd like to ask don't forget to email me teenagersuntangled@gmail.com. Next Wednesday it's an incredible interview about girl and boy friendships, with a man who has written books and goes into schools to teach staff about how to understand what's going on. I learned so much.
Every person/company sells their product on UA-cam as their strategy, but I am sure your strategy does not match the UA-cam algorithm policy. That's why your views are low (last 5 days only 6 views). Your SEO score is still ZERO out of 100 scores. It is high time to hire an SEO expert who will help you optimize the videos and you will get more subscribers and viewers rapidly.
WOW! YOU BOTH ARE EXPERT, I am also working for PATHFINDER on adolescent health. now, I am working in the social media platform focusing on adolescent issues. So, I regularly enjoy your podcast. but I have a concern about your video's growth. 5 days only 19 views! how do you measure it? you posted 144 videos but your subscribers only 44 !!! Your Podcast is incredibly engaging and informative, and it deserves to reach a wider audience. Have you considered strategies to expand your reach among your target listeners? (ie: only 1 likes, and no shares, SEO score ZERO out of 100, etc) I don't want to see your good videos fail.
Thanks so much. It's just me doing everything, and I don't have any spare money so all of the UA-cam content is autogenerated from the podcast platform. When I can afford extra help I will ask for it!
Ma'am! Just a reply!! I love your podcast, Last 2 months I have been following your channel, and I have a concern about your targeted audience. However, I have a concern about your channel. Despite being 1 year old channel with 139 videos posted and 41 subscribers, your video SEO (Search Engine Optimization) score is still ZERO out of the VIDIQ score of 100. Why is that? if you want I will provide you 3 steps report in your email for free, such as 1. Issues with the channel 2. How the UA-cam algorithm can work for targeting your audience. 3. Strategies to overcome these issues. So that you can make a plan for next course of action. I am waiting for your response. Regards Masud Pervez UA-cam SEO Expert
I am also working for an International organization on Adolescent health and have successfully done many projects of adolescent SRHR, Menstrual health, and hygiene. So, I love your podcast.
Another great podcast on teen's. waiting for next.
Sounds like a fantastic episode! The focus on goal-setting, evolving roles, and understanding tween brain changes is so important. Having an accountability partner is a great tip too. Looking forward to listening!
How can parents navigate the challenges of managing their children's desires for expensive luxury items, like an Hermes bag, while teaching them about value and financial responsibility?
I think we need to be very clear, ourselves, what our values are and why we hold them. Then it’s a non-judgemental discussion with our teens about why they see things the way they do. Helping them to dig down into why they think and feel the way they do is never wasted; it’s one of the best things we can offer them. Teens mostly don’t know why they think the way they do.
Excellent podcast, I love it. What are some effective strategies for helping teens use their summer break to explore their passions and develop new skills, and how can parents and educators support them in finding meaningful opportunities outside the traditional educational environment?
I love your positive, engaged feedback. Thank you so much. 🙏
@@parentingteenagersuntangled I enjoy your podcast regularly, thank for reply.
I found your discussion on reducing nagging through routines incredibly helpful. The practical tips for managing common teen challenges like bedtime, healthy eating, and screen time were spot-on. I appreciate the focus on adapting successful strategies from other parents. Looking forward to trying these in my own household!
Excellent discussion. Understanding executive function deficits has been eye-opening. It's not about laziness; it's about skill development. This podcast episode highlights how we can identify and support teens struggling with these challenges. Excited to explore how targeted training can empower them to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals effectively.
Thank you so much for this exact feedback. I feel the same way about the possibilities.
@@parentingteenagersuntangled Thank you
Good video!!

Thank you for this. Empowering parents is so important. It is hard to always know what to say and how to react while walking on a very thin ice around our vulnerable teenagers. We can do so much more for our kids if only we knew what and how. It feels good to be heard and acknowledged.
Thank you for saying this. I’m so happy that it resonates with you. There are so many ways in which we parents can feel we fall short, but we can make such a difference if only we know how.❤

That’s really frustrating. TikTok is incredibly addictive, and teens at that age are notoriously bad at managing their impulses. The management is done by the pre-frontal cortex, which isn’t really developed until they’re at least 25. Our screen time episode is really helpful in explaining why he finds it hard to put down his phone, and what we can do about it. I would sit him down in a quiet moment and ask him to talk about what he really wants out of life, and where he sees himself in five years time. Write it down and ask him how he wants to go about achieving that. Then break down how much time he spends on things and whether he thinks that the things he is doing take him closer to his goals or further away. If you get him to start trying to think about what he gets out of TikTok (it’s a diversion) and whether it suits what he wants, then he’s more likely to develop the skills to control his behaviour.
My son is 14 he wants to be an athlete, but he can’t stop watching his phone tik tok he has a girlfriend and I can’t get but excuses when I tell him that sacrifice and suffering are the paths to success he can’t grasp that
