Having the hard conversations

At a time when parents are having to tackle the hard conversations, in this episode we do the same, helping parents work out how to walk the often difficult line required to be a parent. A parent struggling with their 12 year old daughter bringing up the conversation of sexual harassment asks for guidance  (1:30) . We discuss how to recover after a child has been caught cheating (14:16), the tricky issue of what to do with a child who claims he no longer wants to live (22:55) and how to respond when you find out your child is sneaking sweets into their room to eat secretly (34:25).

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.
