The Teen Commandments

<p>Best friends Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton survived their chaotic teenage years together. Now they're back in the trenches with five teens between them - but armed with laughs, survival tactics and the kind of wisdom that only comes from being former rule-breakers themselves. </p><p>Each week they’ll reminisce and commiserate as they attempt to make sense of the often mind-boggling behaviour of modern teens…because the best teen advice comes from those who know every trick in the book.</p><p>Mum, dads, carers, parents, step-parents, grandparents and yes, even you teens, are welcome, encouraged even, to step into the world of The Teen Commandments. </p><p>When not parenting, riding her horse or walking her 3 dogs, or caring for her other numerous pets, Sara Cox can be found broadcasting on BBC Radio 2, presenting television shows and writing one of her 3 Sunday Times Best-selling books, Sara can be found in her garden shed with Clare recording this podcast. </p><p>Leaving the chaos of her own teenagers behind her, with a coffee in hand and headphones in, hairdresser and single mum Clare Hamilton hops on a train each week from her home in Manchester to travel to Sara’s for a sleepover and to record this podcast. </p><p>📧 Email at <a href="mailto:hello@teencommandments.co.uk">hello@teencommandments.co.uk</a> </p><p>📲 Follow on Instagram: @djsaracox, @clarehamilton__</p><p>👩‍💻 Visit <a href="http://www.theteencommandments.co.uk/">www.theteencommandments.co.uk</a></p><p>🎙️ Teen Commandments is a Sara Cox Production</p>
