Is your child friends with a bad influence?

Are they being bullied or treated poorly by someone they think is a friend?

Do they struggle to broaden their social circle?

If you relate to any of the above, then this episode is a must listen, because I am going to explain the how, the why, and the what you can do about those unhealthy friendships your children find themselves in.

It happens to everyone, even us parents! But knowing how to spot them and, importantly, knowing how to support your children to see it for themselves, is the real challenge. You might just learn a thing or two about your own relationships as well!

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
