From Bedford to Beijing... 🇬🇧➡️🇨🇳

Two years ago, I published Parenting Unstoppable Girls and Parenting Teen Boys with Confidence with one simple goal: to help parents better understand and connect with their teenagers.

Then something I never imagined happened...!

A publisher in China asked to publish my books as resources for professionals learning about how we support and raise teenagers in the Western world😳🥹

After more than a year in translation by two psychologists based in China, solicitors and contracts going back and forth, my books have now officially been published in China THIS WEEK, with an initial print run of 4,000 copies EACH! 😁🙏❤️

Seeing my work in another language is unbelievably surreal!!

It's a reminder that although cultures differ, the challenges of raising teenagers, and the desire to understand them - are universal.

I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way!

太感谢了😂

Sound familiar 👇🏻

Your teen says they’re “not worried” about exams…but you can see the signs.

Do you bring it up - or leave it?

😎 Bringing it up might shut them down or cause an argument… and you’ve had a lovely weekend, you don’t want to ruin it.

🤔 But if you leave it, you know it might all hit in a few weeks when the first exam is looming…

😟 And if they don’t revise, what if they don’t get the grades for college or sixth form?

😤 They need to do something - they’ve not revised all Easter…

😌 But you can’t have another argument about this, they will just need to learn the hard way….

😖 Except you know how upset they’ll be if it doesn’t go how they need it to…

Exam season is very nearly here and so many parents are having this very battle.
Let me help you with real tools and techniques that build motivation for exams and protect your teen’s mental health.

One-off, 60-min personalised sessions for you or your teen to attend, written plan and follow up call 👇🏻

Struggling with teen exam stress or revision arguments at home? Get practical, expert support to help your teen feel calmer, more motivated, and ready for exams.

Why small problems feel huge when you’re overwhelmed
Stress narrows the brain’s ability to think flexibly.

Did you know emotions only last around 90 seconds biologically?
What keeps them going is the thoughts that follow.
