BRAVE NEW WORLD

SURVIVING THE TEENAGE YEARS IN A MODERN AGE

- 

Having babies and small children certainly has its challenges, but nothing prepares you for the teen years. It's a roller-coaster of emotions - you're never quite sure what to expect. Even when things are good, they can change drastically.

I have a close relationship with my mum, but she has always said that I wasn't an easy teen. I honestly don't remember being that difficult, but she was there, so I'll take her word for it.

BE OPEN TO CHANGE

With three teenagers in the house now, I've certainly felt a shift. On one hand, it's wonderful to have deeper relationships and conversations watching them develop is incredible. But wow, some days are tough.
