About the Episode:

What is a teen? Dr. Erin TeWinkel gets us started in our query of understanding the needs and possibilities of the teenage years by helping us understand what’s happening inside the teenage brain. She explains how hormones aren’t as much to blame as many of us think, and realistic ways that parents can help support the teenage years while also getting out of the way. Perhaps most importantly Dr. TeWinkel gives us strategies for helping us to trust our guts as parents and to guide our teens to do the same. What’s truly essential and what’s not. She covers it all and then my teenager simplifies it in her “Teen Splain”.

About the Show, and your Host:

Are you a parent to a teenager? For most parents, the teenage years can be the most challenging. Parenthood will make the best of us rethink our fundamental values and question our preconceived beliefs. The Raising Greener Teens podcast invites listeners to use their skills of curiosity, research, and humour to further develop as experts in the care of their family and to help guide the teens in their care to do the same.

Host Manda Aufochs Gillespie is the author of Green Mama & Green Mama-to-be, creator of the award-winning website thegreenmama.com, and founder of Folk University (folku.ca) and FolkU radio. She interviews doctors, naturopaths, sex educators, brain researchers, drug counsellors, parents who seem to be doing it better, and all sorts of interesting people in this series to provide inspiration to parents of teens and pre-teens, and—hopefully—teens themselves. Join Manda and her teenage daughter as they ask the experts: Is this the way it’s supposed to be?
