About this listen

Being a teenager is hard. Hormones, identity, friendships, school, social media… it's a lot. And as parents or caregivers, it’s tempting to jump in, take control, and steer the ship for them. But in this final episode of our teen series, paediatric OT Trish Lerk invites you to take a different approach — one of coaching, not captaining.

It’s about stepping back (even when it’s hard), showing up with kindness and compassion, and becoming the steady, encouraging presence on the sidelines while your teen takes the lead on their own life.

Because the goal isn’t to make their life perfect. It’s to cheer them on while they figure it out.

✨ A great wrap-up to a series full of real talk, gentle guidance, and the occasional eye roll.
