Where we discuss the science of parenting teens and tweens.

Hey there! I'm the host and founder of Speaking of Teens, Ann Coleman. When my teenage son was struggling with anxiety, depression, and behavior issues, our home felt like a battle ground. I was extremely ill-equipped to handle the issues we were dealing with. The information I needed was out there, but certainly not easily discoverable and not one professional had pointed me in the right direction...until my son was almost 18-years-old! Luckily, we managed to turn things around. Since 2018, I've emersed myself in scientific journals and books to learn all I can about adolescents and how to best parent them. Now, I want to help other moms like you, better understand your teen or tween and what it takes to guide them successfully to adulthood.
