Parenting Wisdom for Happier Families with Deirdre Brandner

Parenting can be so hard. We're all trying to raise emotionally healthy, physically healthy, resilient, connected kids and teens while navigating the complex landscape of our kids' friendships, their social media, their school work, mental health, body image, identity, peer pressure and so much more. This week's guest, Parenting Expert and Paediatric Psychologist Deirdre Brandner, nailed it when she said that 'parents are overwhelmed with information and starved of wisdom'. Wisdom is what we need which is why our conversation in this week's episode is so powerful. 

A renowned psychologist with over 30 years experience Deirdre helps us understand why parenting in the current climate is so difficult, how we, as parents, are the most effective mental health intervention for our kids and teens, the impact of over-protective parenting and ideas galore to help us reconnect with our kids, reduce household stress and strengthen family bonds that make for happier homes and help protect everyone's mental health.
