Listeners Questions with Tamara Nolan

In this episode Tamara Nolan and I answer the Listeners Questions that have come in since the last episode. Topics such as managing Covid related Anxiety, (particularly with small children who develop anxiety around attending school and being away from parents). We also discuss the contemporary issue of parenting ‘vampires’, i.e. young adults who stay up all night and sleep all day. We discuss the challenges of managing the attention economy when you have a child with chronic illness and the concept of parental guilt. The complexities of adolescent friendships are also discussed alongside protecting teenagers self worth. The theme of protecting children’s development without overwhelming them of disabling their independence. We also talk about understanding self-harm and approaching anxiety related bed wetting.
