How do you get teens to talk to you? Why do they need so much sleep? And where on earth does all the food go?
Author Nicole Howes joined the brilliant duo Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn on the Scummy Mummies Podcast to answer all these questions — and plenty more — in a hilarious and heartwarming conversation about parenting teens.
Drawing from her new book, Not a Survival Guide: Your Straight-Talking Parenting Companion; Navigating the Shift from Child to Teen, Nicole offers refreshingly honest advice on how to survive (and even enjoy!) the rollercoaster of raising teenagers.
Together, they discuss the highs and lows of life with teens, from the chaos of constant snacking to the emotional ups and downs that come with adolescence. Nicole shares practical strategies for managing expectations, staying connected, and giving both parents and teens a little more grace in the process.
Of course, no Scummy Mummies episode would be complete without a few laughs — and this one includes Scummy Mummy Confessions involving shaving, a leaking swim nappy, and even a smoking food processor!
Nicole’s warm humour and straight-talking insight make this episode a must-listen for any parent navigating the shift from child to teen.
