Teen mental health and the enduring power of parents, with Daisy Turnbull

In this wonderfully engaging yet highly insightful episode, I sit down with Daisy Turnbull, a secondary school teacher of 10 years, published author of two books, Lifeline counsellor and mother of two. We discuss her new book “50 Questions to Ask Your Teens”, the many facets of raising teens, and some of the most powerful processes parents can adopt during this part of their parenting journey.    Daisy emphasises that teens are a work in progress and develop predominantly through their lived experiences. She highlights how parents are usually learning many things – like setting and managing boundaries – at the same time as their teens. Plus the importance of parents and teens "starting great conversations".
