The Teen Commandments

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
