Let’s be honest.

We’ve all had plenty of angry outbursts in our time. At our friends, at our partners, at ourselves and DEFINITELY at the person who just cut us off in traffic.

With each new “rage session”, though, we learn more about how to keep our anger in check.

But for our teens, under the influence of raging hormones, angry outbursts can become more frequent and harder to control.

So how do we help them tame the beast within? This week, Mads and Angela are back to answer that very question.

This week, they take a deep dive into.

· Why our teens get angrier

· Techniques to defuse an angry teen

· Signs that it might be time to seek clinical help.

Ah parties, they’re often a highlight of “the teen experience” – but we're not sure parents necessarily feel the same!

Fun though they can be, parties will often be the stage where our teens will have their first encounters with alcohol, drugs and all those other things that make parents think twice about letting their child go in the first place.

So, in this episode, Mads & Angela are here with the ultimate guide on getting your teen through the party years, complete with tips on:

- Setting clear boundaries around drinking

- Making sure our teens feel comfortable in turning to us when/if things go wrong

- Planning pick-ups and a party “escape plan”

- Ensuring your teen balances their drinking with food

& a whole lot more!
