My Teen Got A Tattoo Without Permission. Now What?

Our teenagers will make choices they might later regret, like… getting a tattoo. And for some parents, seeing their child come home with ink is their worst nightmare. Our resident parenting expert and Clinical Psychologist Jo Lamble has been there and shares how she wishes she would’ve reacted to help you. Plus, tracking technology has levelled up again—now you can even keep tabs on your teen’s driving speed. But, Dr Ginni Mansberg’s got some questions about the potential benefits and risks.

So welcome to some real parenting talk. As both clinicians and parents, Dr. Ginni Mansberg and clinical psychologist Jo Lamble know first-hand how challenging it can be to raise adolescents. This is why they're bringing their common-sense expertise to Mamamia’s Help! I Have A Teenager.
