Teen Talk

It was a real pleasure chatting to Pei-I Yang-I-yang about all things related to parenting teens.

I have been on this parenting teens journey 4x with my own kids and I am constantly learning, evolving and adapting on the job.

I notice a considerable difference between parenting my youngest child in the age of Snapchat and TikTok versus the experience of my eldest kids (23 and 21) who did not use those platforms at 14.

Almost every book I have recently read about teenagers has the word ‘brain’ in the title.
As neurological scans have developed, our understanding of what happens to the pre-frontal cortex during the teenage years has really deepened and is hugely helpful to parents navigating this stage.

Over the last few weeks, my remaining teens have taken up a fair bit of my mental headspace. I have been supporting them with navigating challenges around friendships and making some big decisions on post-school options.
It’s all getting quite serious and grown up!

What is your greatest challenge when it comes to raising teens?
