An Expert on the One Thing Parents are Getting Wrong About Girls and their Friendships

In this special final episode of This Glorious Mess, leading psychologist and one of Australia's most sought-after voices on child development, Claire Rowe shares her insights on guiding our daughters through the emotionally intense world of female friendships. Claire unpacks normal friendship drama and actual bullying, from playground politics to social media pressures; and the big mistake we are all making and hindering their resilience. And after ten years of parenting conversations, confessions and chaos, the TGM team bids a final farewell and the OG team pop in to say goodbye - Holly Wainwright, Andrew Daddo, Leigh Campbell, Libby Trickett and Sarah Marie Fahd. They reminisce about how the show has guided countless parents through their "glorious messes" and celebrate the show's legacy of embracing imperfect parenting and creating a supportive community where the chaos, triumphs and challenges of raising children have been shared with honesty and humour. We’ve got a new family brand coming, so watch this space and keep your eye on this feed for something special coming in June.

Parenting expert Gen Muir: this hack will stop 90% of sibling fights

Parent educator and mother of four boys Gen Muir returns with a counterintuitive approach to sibling rivalry, and some desperately needed strategies to get to the root cause of sibling fights. Gen offers a refreshing perspective on why conflicts between siblings occur and what they're really about (hint: it's often not what parents think!) Her approach helps parents understand when to step in, when to step back, and how to transform these challenging moments into opportunities for growth. The reassuring takeaway? We only need to get parenting right 30% of the time to raise emotionally healthy children.

Is Gentle Parenting Too... Gentle?

Were you smacked as a child? You’re not alone - most Millennials and Gen X were. In fact, corporal punishment in schools wasn't banned until the mid-nineties! This week, Tegan and Annaliese dive into how they were disciplined as kids and how those experiences have influenced their parenting styles. With gentle parenting all the rage (pun intended), has the over correction from tough love gone too far? Plus we hear from Sarah Marie Fahd and her very honest approach to “woo woo” parenting.
