I have a teen and I’ve gotten so much out of this podcast. Cheryl is an excellent podcaster and the topics are all great for anyone with a teenager!
Apple Podcasts5Kristina DriscollUnited Statesa year ago - I don't have kids and I still LOVE this show!
I may not have kids of my own but as the oldest of 7, I know what it's like dealing with teenagers. Just because being a teenager isn't as difficult as being a parent doesn't mean that guidance isn't needed for everyone. I love Cheryl's brilliant approach at exploring both sides of the conversation.

Canadaa year ago - Refreshing conversations, uplifting, supportive and much needed
Such important conversations for all parents and shared with wisdom and warmth. Loved the episode with Kylie, the focus on a much broader, heart led approach to learning, led by what children love and need. Every child holds so much potential within them and it is for us as parents to help them to tap into this in ways that are right for them. Look forward to tuning into future episodes.
