Welcome to your weekly audio hug for parents going through the teen and tween years. I'm Rachel Richards, journalist, parenting coach, mother of two teenagers and two bonus daughters.I designed this audio hug to help calm your fears, learn from the mistakes of other parents, and grow in confidence in your role. When I was coaching parents for Parent Gym I realised how powerful it is to be in a room with other parents who're honest about the challenges they're facing. It takes away the judgement and makes it more possible to open up to ways in which we can change for the better.Whilst we can't all be in the same room together, I've tried to make this the next best thing. I take questions from listeners, or my own problems, and do lots of research into what the experts say. Then Susie brings her wealth of expertise in mindfulness to discuss the realities of parenting.It may look like other parents are perfect but even experts make mistakes, because good parenting is a constantly evolving challenge. In all the research I've done the most important thing we can do is focus on building our connection by being more curious and less critical of both our kids and ourselves. Admitting our mistakes isn't failure, it's growth.What the Independent Podcasting Award judges said: 'The advice within the podcast on how to deal with what life throws at you is universally helpful, not just for those with teenagers.' 'A good mix of personal stories alongside professional insight; it's addressing something different, and helps its audience with the references and extra information provided in episode notes.' 'The rapport between the hosts, Rachel and Susie, is great with a good mix of them chatting, but also providing context for the listener and remembering them within the conversation.'
