Welcome to our podcast Roots & Wings - raising teens is a podcast for teen-raisers and teenagers hosted by Amy Wilson & Danielle Brown.
On today's episode Amy and Danielle get all festive and have a little Christmas party, Amy's kitchen table transforms from a podcast recording studio to a very British festive beige buffet, complete with M&S tortilla stars, bao buns & a cheeky glass of fizz. There's plenty of twinkly lights, sequins, and glitter balls of course too.
There's plenty of chats about Christmas with teenagers and some great tips and tricks for last minute teen present ideas. They are also joined by an actual teenager too! Minnie pops along for a chat about what her favourite parts of Christmas are and what she's particularly looking forward to this year. We also hear what Amy & Danielle's answers are to our regular features, Roots & Sings - the soundtrack to your teens and What advice would you give your teenage self.
So what are you waiting for... get your Christmas sparkle on, pop open the Baileys and join our Roots and Wings Christmas party!!

EP1: SOCIAL MEDIA. In this episode:
Is social media ruining our teenagers' mental health? How many times have you heard people (grown-ups) say “it’s all because of social media..” Is it inevitable that our teens will spend hours scrolling Snapchat, Instagram or Whats App while parents and carers worry about the impact?
On this very first episode of Roots & Wings we explore the pros and cons of social media. We look at how to manage social media usage with teens and what boundaries Amy & Danielle have used at home with their own teens and tweens. Special guest Katie Woods, better known as @comedowntothewoods on Instagram, pops around to Amy’s kitchen for a cuppa and chat. She tells us about her own career as an influencer and how she manages this alongside parenting her teens and guiding them on social media. There are lots of laughs and some great advice on this episode - Amy & Danielle leave no social media stone unturned.To get intouch you can email us Email: [email protected]
