What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?

It doesn't matter how much we know, and how much we work at it, we'll all struggle to parent well at times; it's just part of being human.

To mark the 100th episode of the podcast I decided to give you a top ten of the best lessons I've learned, and continue to mess up.

In case you can't be bothered to listen, you're bored by me waffling, or you just want the list, here goes:

Connection over correction.
It's not personal, and it's not about you.
Kick the bullies out of your head.
It's not your job to tell your kids what to do, it's your job to help them find out who they are.
Routine is going to save everyone from nagging hell.
Assume your kids are trying their best and catch them being good.
Have clear boundaries, consequences and expectations, but be prepared to negotiate.
Community is way more important and helpful than we were told.
Be honest about your own failings.
Make time to enjoy the ride.

This list isn't definitive, it's just the stuff that's has felt most meaningful to me. Hopefully some of it will land with you, but if you have any other keys to heaven you can add then email teenagersuntangled@gmail.com and help us all out; we need all the support we can get.
