This Glorious Mess

• 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.

  Body dissatisfaction is affecting nearly half of young people in Australia, even keeping them from going to school. Scary statistics, so Annaliese and Tegan dig deep to discuss their own struggles with body shame and how comments about food played a significant role in their childhood. Determined not to pass on the same food trauma or triggering conversations, Annaliese speaks with nutritionist Lyndi Cohen to discover the best language to use with children. Plus, Sarah Marie offers some relatable advice for dealing with a tricky mother-in-law situation. THE END BITS We’ve compiled all the best resources for new mums in a free newsletter.

• 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.
