Why is My Tween Angry at Me? Advice from a Psychologist with Dr Jenny Rose

--:--
"How your kids practice their voice at home is how they're going to do things when they're out there in the world..."

"Our Tweens want a little bit more control, making their voice heard a little more, and it's important we stay present, pay attention, and let them feel heard."

...but how do I manage these changes and all this drama without total disruption? The mood swings, the social behaviour, the impulse decisions and dis-regulation.

Tweens are an interesting 'in-between' phase, and Psychologist Dr Jenny Rose returns to our Podcast, this time to help us better understand the dynamics of handling a smooth transition for our kids into their Tween years and beyond.

Brought to you by Epi-max Baby & Junior – our family, for your family. Also supported by Jacaranda 94.2.
