Help! I Have A Teenager

Mamamia Podcasts

Being a teenager has changed. A lot. There’s TikTok, vaping, d*ck pics, there are Snap maps, selfies and filters...and it's all a potential battlefield for parents where the stakes feel impossibly high. So welcome to some real parenting talk. As both clinicians and parents, Dr. Ginni Mansberg and clinical psychologist Jo Lamble know first-hand how challenging it can be to raise adolescents. This is why they're bringing their common-sense expertise to Mamamia’s Help! I Have A Teenager. Every week Dr. Ginni and Jo will be answering your questions, and you can submit them at [email protected]

    It's getting to that time of year where everything starts to get a bit hard. It may be the last week of November but it feels like the year has been dragging and the silly season can bring out some season overwhelm.

    Plus Sarah Marie solves a tricky dilemma on the school run.

    Is Your Relationship In The Room-Mate Phase

    Your kids might be a bit older, and you’re back in the routine of life—work, kids, chores—but how’s your relationship? Has it started to feel more like you’re roommates than partners? 

    Before you know it, you might find yourselves in the "roommate phase."

    In this episode of This Glorious Mess, we explore the telltale signs of this phase and share tips on how to reconnect. We're also joined by a dad, who brings his own perspective on navigating the roommate dynamic in relationships.

    And to wrap things up, we leave you with a song that might just hit you right in the feels.

    You can read Bek Day's Mamamia article 'I coach married parents through the "roommate phase". Here's the 2 day experiment I swear by.'

    Introducing...This Glorious Mess

    We need to talk about sleep. Not your kids sleep - YOUR sleep.

    Introducing This Glorious Mess the parenting podcast that's just had a major glowup.

    In this very special sleep episode hosts Tegan Natoli and Annaliese Todd share how the mental load impacts their sleep, and discuss how a "sleep divorce" could be the key to a good nights rest.

    Annaliese speaks to a sleep expert, leading to her full meltdown after learning about the mistakes she's been making and how we could all be doing better in the bedroom.

    Plus, Sarah Marie hears from a mom craving alone time but feeling like she'll never get it. 

    And, we hear from the regional mum who feeds her kids dinner at 3pm (yes you read that right) all in the name of calm afternoons and a better sleep routine.

    What We’ve Learned Since The Start Of This Podcast

    We know teenagers are going through a lot, but they often don’t open up to us about it. After reading an article about what it’s like to be a teenager in 2024, we have some insight for any confused parents.

    Plus, seeing your kids fight can be really tough. So, what do you do when they both come to you to complain? And, how can you help them build a positive relationship with each other?

    And finally, after two years of hosting this podcast and answering so many of your wonderful questions, what have Ginni and Jo learned about parenting teens?
