Cracking the social code: friendships & classmates

Episode 11 is for adults supporting young people through friendship difficulties. We discuss a question from a parent whose daughter is not able to separate from her and go on playdates she previously managed well (1:25). We consider ways to manage secondary school transition for a young person with a tic disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (8:34). A regular question from parents is how to cope with a child who keeps falling out with friends (16:53) and we end with tips and ideas for parents who are not keen on their son’s choice of peer group (26:28).

Om Podcasten

Come and join our Incredible Conversation, a podcast for adults supporting young people, by clinical psychologists Jane Gilmour and Bettina Hohnen. We use the same principles we apply in our books (The Incredible Teenage Brain, 2019 and How To Have Incredible Conversations with your Child, published 2021), first what is the science and second how can we use that science to change what we say or do when we are around young people? The science is current, the conversation is relatable and it will help unlock young people's potential.
