Join me as we unravel the complexities of the teenage years and discover practical strategies for fostering a deeper connection with your teen.

In today's episode, we'll be exploring a topic that resonates with many mums: figuring out the underlying reasons behind your daughter's persistent grumpiness and anger. Many mums grapple with the challenge of understanding and navigating their daughter's emotional landscape during the often difficult years of adolescence.

But before you jump to conclusions and assume her anger is directed solely at you, let me just say that her anger is directed at the situation she finds herself in, not at you though I know it doesn’t always feel like this.

Let's peel back the layers and explore the multiple factors contributing to her attitude.

Last week I talked about the nervous system and possibly too much but do you know what? It’s important for us to know this stuff. In this episode, we delve deeper into the misconceptions surrounding teen girl behavior. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not just about hormones. Traditional parenting tactics often exacerbate the situation, leaving both parents and daughters feeling lost and fearful. Too often we’re told that if our teen girls are struggling, it’s their hormones at play and the solution? To control, to micromanage, to give them no choice. This is what traditional parenting strategies are about. Does this help? No, it exacerbates the situation, it makes her a lot more fearful and you, more lost. She is scared beyond belief and resorts to one of three behaviours.

Tune in as we explore the root causes and uncover strategies to foster understanding and connection, rather than control.

Following the last episode where I talked about self harm vs self care, in this episode I talk about why they self harm and what we can do as mums to help. I give you easy to use tools that help you now in the moment. You are your teen daughter’s biggest advocate so it makes sense that you know as much as you can to help her. Over the next few weeks listen in as I release details of a new online 6week programme for your teen daughter. If you want to know more connect with me either via instagram at teen.whisperer.nature email on [email protected] or check out my website at www.positivetouch.net though be aware it’s having a revamp.

Self harm is obviously harm against yourself whilst self care is care for yourself. In this episode I talk about the two topics I have discussed recently - self harm and my accident and how it makes me feel. I also talk about feeling worthless and how trying to do it all makes our daughters feel worthless as they aren’t allowed to do anything. We mirror the exact behaviours we don’t like in ourselves. We don’t need to do it all as Mums, as it can result in traumatic incidents that literally stop you in your tracks. Listen in to find out how to turn things around to connect to yourself and her.

So in this episode I tell you why Teen Whisperer has been AWOL and the effect it has had on my teen daughter.
