In this episode of Elevate, Sue Reeve from Consider it Done is joined by Tanith Carey, parenting author, award-winning journalist and one of the UK's most widely read voices on raising children and teenagers.

Most of the women listening to Elevate are at the stage where their children have stopped being straightforward. The teenager who used to talk has gone quiet. The child who was easy is now unpredictable. And the parent who is excellent at managing a team at work can feel completely out of her depth at home. Tanith explains what is actually happening in the teenage brain, and gives parents a practical way back in.

Grounded in neuroscience and developmental psychology rather than soft advice, this is a warm, honest conversation about regulating yourself first, rebuilding connection, and remembering that it is not the things you say, it is how your teenager feels in your presence.
