EP 73 - How to still enjoy the summer - when you have a Teenager!

Our kids have had a really uncertain time over the past 18 months - and each of them is reading differently.   Some are wanting to escape and meet up with their friends again and others are rather reluctant to venture too far from home… better the devil you know, right?   Many parents are worried about how far behind their kids are falling with their education and are planning to use the summer as an opportunity to catch up.   In this episode I discuss : * Why your child needs a total switch off * Why you should allow them to sleep in * How to cope with their attachment to technology * Why it’s OK to ignore the mess in their bedrooms   Want to know more?
