MORE ABOUT US:

We met at the school gates over 10 years ago and became firm friends. This parenting podcast will cover the big topics facing parents and teenagers today with a good dose of northern humour, honesty and integrity.

When a plaster, a biscuit or an early night will no longer work… what next?! The teenage years present a whole new chapter of challenges and are rarely discussed but not anymore!

With six children between us, one tween, four teens & one cutie pie, we have lots of experience and stories to share.

Every episode we get together over a cuppa in Amy's kitchen to catch up, share our tales of parenting teens and chat to other parents about how they are coping, or not coping! We’ll also get expert advice too - no topic is too tough or taboo to talk about.

Expect open and honest conversations, highs and lows, mum fails and plenty of LOLs. So whether you're a teen raiser, a parent of tweens or just want to join the club, Roots and Wings is here for you.
