We open the show talking about Tina’s time on the Pat Kenny show this week. With school refusal being such a huge problem, what are parents supposed to do and how are schools able to help?

Question 1- 

Teenage life is incredibly hard to navigate. Trying not to keep your child close and not lose them completely during those years is all consuming. This week an exhausted mother gets in touch in need of an intervention with her rebellious teenage daughter. It’s Jarlath who has the advice this lady needs this week. Introducing her to an incredible book that has changed his approach to parenting. As always we recommend checking out Jigsaw.ie.  A free online parenting resource available to all. 

Question 2 -

If your child is aggressive and struggling at school how do you decipher whether they are just misbehaving or if they have additional needs? We try our best to point this parent in the direction of the avenues they need to go down for help. 

Question 3- 

Sleep deprivation is no joke. This week a family gets in touch about their three year old's sleep regression. After going on a cosy holiday where all the rules when out the window, they are now home and really struggling to get their toddler to sleep in his own bed. Is it possible to get him back on track? Tune in and follow our few simple steps to getting your child to sleep in their own bed again.
