114: Friendships, frenemies and boy banter. Parenting our teens through the relationship pitfalls.

  • Summary

  • Send us a text

    Friendships, and fitting, in are everything to teenagers. You could argue that understanding the dynamics, and supporting our kids through the turmoil of the teen years, is one of the best things we parents can do.

    Former Headteacher of 18 years, Andrew Hampton FRSA, is no stranger to the issue. He's not only raised two girls he's also had to deal with the fall-out in school when friendships go wrong.

    Having set up the organisation, Girls On Board, which aims to educate teachers about the issues girls face, he - like me - is keenly aware that you can't tackle girl issues without also paying attention to what's happening with boys.

    He has now turned his attention to Working With Boys and tackling the issue of rape culture in schools; what stage it sets in, why it develops and how we parents can provide a decent working model for our kids to follow.

Who knows a teenager!

Great insight into the topic of teenagers and the challenges they face. Parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone who has contacts with teens would all benefit from listening to this podcast. If only more Head Teachers could adopt Andrew Hampton stance on the subject. I will definitely be reading ‘when girls fall out’ and ‘working with boys’.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
