Kate Silverton Instagram – Teens or toddlers? How do you help your teens when they lose their temper with you and how do you manage your response to stress in those heated moments? In this week’s Parent Pod video episode with @thetimes child psychotherapist and best-selling author Kate Silverton joins me to delve inside the developing teenage brain. She explains what’s happening when your pre-teen and teen’s behaviour seems to regress to toddler-like tantrums and how you can regulate your emotions in those moments. And I learnt about ‘attuning’ – how the art of sharting nervous systems with our children can help everyone regain their calm and repair the rifts which are to be expected and indeed help you strengthen your relationship. In a super useful interview Kate gives us phrases we can use with our adolescents around challenging behaviour and a toolkit on setting boundaries, helping teens who have become withdrawn and the art of active listening.
The Parent Pod with @thetimes is a weekly series helping parents to navigate the complex journey of raising teenagers: we have tackled talking about sex, acne & teen skincare, nutrition and stressful teen friendships.
