You think you know your kids.
Then they grow up.
Enough with the waiting lists, the jargon, and the “we’ll get back to you.”
Parenting teens is hard — and it’s even harder when you're left to figure it out alone.
That’s why I created Parentology - so you can stop spiralling, get straight answers, and feel steady in the moment that matters.
“We need to break down the barriers, waiting lists, pointless meetings — and get to work!”
