Surely our kids deserve as much, if not more status and respect in their own homes as they might receive elsewhere? You could also argue that it's better to offer it at home so they don't go looking for it in places you don't want them to go. When I played this interview with @byjoannaschroeder …

Host
I've worked as a BBC Correspondent, a World News Anchor for CNBC Europe and a Parenting Supercoach for Parent Gym, supporting parents in the most deprived boroughs of London.
I'm the mother of two bonus-daughters, now in their twenties, two teenagers, and married to the most amazing, but messy, man. I live in a Tudor house in the UK countryside, walk my two cockapoos daily and read voraciously.
My main purpose in making this podcast is my desire to break negative family cycles so I can understand and parent my own teens better.
I'm a lover of yoga, jogging, hiking, skiing, flying, reading, music, and all types of adventurous travel.
Originally born in Zambia, I'd lived in six different countries by the age of ten and thank my lucky stars to have settled in the UK.
Most of all I am loving the opportunity to give back for all the good fortune I've had in my life.

Susie started practising mindfulness over a decade ago, after a particularly stressful time in her life. It was so effective that she decided to train in Mindfulness with the NHS and the Mindfulness in Schools project to become a Paws b and dot b practitioner, which enables her to teach mindfulness both to primary and secondary school children.
Susie teaches adult groups, 1:1s, families, in schools (children & teachers) and students (at the Guildhall College of Music & Drama).
She's also a qualified psychotherapist (from the Psychotherapeutic Institute in Copenhagen) and a trained musician (working and playing as a freelance viola player and chamber musician, as well as teaching children and adults).
Susie is mum to three children whom she has parented alone for 12 years
