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

Loading player...
"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.
