Kate Silverton needs no introduction to most parents. She spent years as one of the most familiar faces on BBC News before retraining as a child therapist and writing two bestselling books There's No Such Thing as Naughty and There's Still No Such Thing as Naughty.
In this episode, we talk about everything from the science of a toddler meltdown right through to what it's like when your teenager looks at you like you've just ruined their life.
We also discuss the new BACP campaign on the parenthood preparation gap - why so many of us are prepare for parenthood with a changing bag and a birth plan but don't have the support to prepare for how parenthood actually feels.
We also chat about:
