“To raise a child, it sometimes takes a village... but sometimes that village should shut up and mind their own busines.”

Thred

In its own words, Thred is shaped by teen culture and powered by social change. Its founder, Jenk Oz, is still a teenager himself, so who better to turn to when you're struggling to find subjects in common with your child? A digest of everything that matters, it's a great site to put your teens onto - and to check in on yourself.

Give Back!

Work with your child to think of a cause they are passionate about. Then brainstorm and research ways to help. You could end up volunteering at a foodbank or wildlife park, going on a protest march, writing to your MP or starting a petition, or doing a sponsored run, swim, silence, or spellathon. Wherever your discussion leads you, this is a great way to give back and nurture your soon-to-be-an-adult's altruistic side, whilst getting in some family bonding time.
