Warning: this vlog touches on the topic of suicide.
In this "Maggie Moment", one of Australia's favourite parenting authors Maggie Dent discusses our vulnerable adolescents. Maggie discusses how we all have a tipping point in terms of our emotional self-regulation, but when we are teens we can be quicker to reach our tipping point because our emotional barometer can be more sensitive. Maggie discusses how we might be able to lessen that tipping point.
