Hogan Experts Season Two: Fortune Parenting Growing And Pains, Colman Joanna Noctor, Richard
It's a privilege to have children, but being a parent is one of the toughest jobs you're likely to take on.
Supporting your child as they gallop through different life stages and challenges can leave parents with more questions than answers.
Top child psychotherapists Richard Hogan, Joanna Fortune, and Colman Noctor are here to help.
In a 12-part weekly podcast series, they offer down-to-earth advice on the big issues facing parents.
ieParenting's Growing Pains returns on April 16, covering topics such as how to help your child in the run-up to exams, the tween years, making and keeping friends offline, supporting a child with dyslexia, and navigating the politics of being a grandparent.
The first episode with Colman Noctor looks at whether primary school children need to do homework.
Speaking about the launch of season two of the podcast, ieParenting editor Irene Feighan said: "The latest Growing Pains series tackles the pressing concerns keeping parents awake at night, from childhood anxiety to loneliness and learning differences.
"Our leading child psychotherapists draw from extensive professional experience, giving practical advice on supporting children during difficult times. We hope the series will deepen the bond between parents and their kids."
