Getting Ahead of the Change: How Parents Can Prepare Teens for Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban
On December 10th 2025, Australia will introduce new legislation preventing young people under 16 from holding accounts on most major social media platforms. Whether you think this is overdue, overreaching, or somewhere in between, this article isn’t about debating the policy. It’s about something far more important: how you can help your teen navigate and adapt to a major shift in their digital world. This is a moment for preparation, not panic. For partnership, not policing.
Calming Teenage Anxiety: How Parents Can Support Their Teens With Understanding and Connection
Anxiety in teens is on the rise, and for many families it can feel like a silent, invisible battle. It doesn’t always show up as a racing heart or obvious panic attacks. More often, it hides behind what looks like moodiness, defiance, or laziness. As parents, it’s easy to misinterpret these behaviours and respond with frustration rather than compassion. But here’s the truth: your teenager’s behaviour is often telling you more than their words.
Supporting Teens Through Final Exams: Understanding the Mental Health Impact
Final exams are one of the most stressful periods in a teenager’s academic journey, no matter where they live in the world. Whether it’s the HSC in Australia, A-Levels in the UK, SATs in the US, or board exams in India, the pressure is immense. These moments represent far more than just grades on paper — for many young people, they feel like life-defining events that carry huge expectations.
If you’ve ever looked at your teenager and thought, “What on earth is going on in your mind?”, you’re not alone. Despite having more resources, experts, and programs than ever before, young people today are facing record levels of depression, anxiety, and other mental health struggles. So why aren’t the usual strategies working? And more importantly, what can help?
The Curious Check-In: Helping Parents Support Their Teen’s Mental Wellbeing Before Crisis Hits
Parenting a teenager can feel like navigating a rollercoaster in the dark. One moment they are chatty and affectionate, the next they are withdrawn or irritable. While ups and downs are a normal part of adolescence, there is a crucial skill every parent of teens needs: the ability to recognise the early signs that their teen might be struggling with their mental wellbeing and to know how to respond before things escalate.
Helping Teens Navigate College Applications Without Losing Their Minds (Or Yours)
If you’re a parent of a teen who’s starting to think about university, you’re likely already feeling the pressure. The college admissions process has become more competitive, more complex, and more emotionally charged than ever before, and it’s taking a serious toll on both teens and their parents.
Climate Anxiety in Teens: How Parents Can Support This New Layer of Stress with Empathy
If you’ve got a teenager who’s suddenly talking about the climate, cutting out meat, panicking about plastic, or swinging between despair and “burn it all down” energy — you’re not alone. Climate anxiety is a very real thing, especially for this generation. As a parent, it can feel huge — like just one more thing they’re carrying, and one more thing you have to figure out how to respond to. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to fix it. You just need to get curious.
Are Sleepovers Safe for Teens? A Parent Coach’s Guide to Modern Sleepover Rules and Boundaries
Why Parents Are Saying No, and How to Shift to a Safe and Sane “Maybe” Once upon a time, sleepovers were the highlight of teen life. Pillows in sleeping bags, staying up far too late, eating junk food, giggling through midnight whispers — it was almost a rite of passage. In 2025? More and more parents are quietly (or not so quietly) saying no. Like, a hard no. And honestly? I get it. The world is different. Parenting feels different.
Good Cop vs Bad Cop Parenting: Why Teens Gravitate Toward One Parent — And How To Rebalance The Dynamic
Life is not black and white, and neither is parenting. One of the most common challenges I see in families with teenagers is the “good cop vs bad cop” parenting dynamic. It can creep in gradually, often without anyone realising, until one day you find yourself stuck in a pattern: one parent becomes the fun, relaxed one, while the other is seen as the enforcer, the disciplinarian, the so-called “bad cop”.
Tracking Your Teens: Connection or Control?
Let’s talk about teen location tracking apps—those ever-present dots on a screen that show where your child is, or at least where their phone is. As a parent coach, I’ve had countless conversations with parents about whether or not to use them. And I’ll be honest: this tech isn’t the villain or the hero. Like most parenting tools, it’s about how you use it. Here’s the thing: tracking apps are wildly overused—and often misused. Most of the time, they’re driven by fear, not connection.
Food Trade Shows: Industry Events and Insider Tips | Classic Exhibits
Unlike cars, sports card collections, or spas, food is universal. We can’t live without it, which is why food trade shows are popular around the world. For example, The Natural Products Expo West show attracts over 65,000 attendees each year. FHC (Food & Hotel China), a large hospitality show held in Shanghai, draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from both China and other countries.

The ‘Lord God bird’ is gone: An elegy for the ivory-billed woodpecker
ByMel White Published September 30, 2021 • 12 min read The ivory-billed woodpecker, a majestic black-and-white bird that once nested in mature forests in the American Southeast and Cuba, was last indisputably seen in the United States in Louisiana in 1944. As decades passed with no plausible records, the bird has been assumed by most ornithologists to be extinct.

Birding in Missouri
Missouri represents an ornithological crossroads. It transitions from southern and eastern environments to those of the Midwest, with a corresponding range of breeding birds. Swainson’s Hawk, Greater Roadrunner, Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, and Painted Bunting nest here, as do Northern Harrier, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Bobolink.
Birds of Paradise - National Geographic Magazine
This story appears in the December 2012 issue of National Geographic magazine. In New Guinea kangaroos climb trees, and butterflies the size of Frisbees dart through rain forests where egg-laying mammals scuttle across the muck. Frogs sport noses like Cyranoâs, and the rivers are full of rainbow fish.
Birding in Wyoming
Wyoming ranks among the top 10 states in size, yet it has the lowest population. Put those two things together, and you get ideal conditions for birding: wide-open spaces with few other people tromping along trails or clogging boardwalks. This is especially true away from the iconic areas of Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks and Devils Tower National Monument.
'Make America Christian Again'
Editor’s note: Mel White was the ghostwriter of Jerry Falwell’s autobiography, “Strength for the Journey.” On Nov. 9, 2016, at 2:30 a.m., thousands of Donald Trump supporters screamed with delight as their president-elect walked onto the Hilton Midtown ballroom stage followed by his family and closest friends.
The Dance of Coexistence: The Humans and Orangutans of Indonesian Borneo
Posted ON
January 31, 2017 ‘Sometimes I feel like I’ve chosen the most difficult thing in the world to study,’ Cheryl Knott tells me as we sit beneath the rain forest canopy at her orangutan research station in western Borneo. The high-pitched, dental-drill sound of cicadas fills the air, at times forcing us to pause our conversation.

Head to the North Woods-the Boreal Birds Are Waiting
For most of North America, the birds of the boreal forest—the vast swath of spruce woods, bogs, and northern hardwoods stretching across the top of the continent—appear only fleetingly, if they’re seen at all. You might find a flock of Common Redpolls feeding in a Minnesota field in January or a Blackburnian Warbler perched in a Tennessee treetop in May. But those moments are elusive, and some boreal birds never dip south.
A Darwin Finch, Crucial to Idea of Evolution, Fights for Survival
Birds in hand, the scientist sailed from Santa Cruz, the most populous of the Galápagos Islands, on a boat bound for Isabela Island, 150 miles (240 kilometers) away. There, the last remaining wild population of about 80 mangrove finches (Camarhynchus heliobates) hangs on in two patches of forest no bigger than 12 Manhattan blocks.
Google Reveals Android App for On-the-Go Campaign Management
After a slew of product launches for AdWords in recent weeks, Google has now revealed an Android app that is available in the Play store. The new AdWords app claims to enable advertisers with an easy way to view and manage ad campaign performance while they are on the go. This is the first time that Google has launched an app for monitoring AdWords campaigns. The move is a welcomed one by industry participants.
Why Birds Attacked the Peace Doves in Rome
The irony was too much: When Pope Francis and two children released two white "peace doves" at the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City on Sunday, the doves were immediately attacked by other birds, losing feathers and being driven away as a huge crowd watched. Thus, tens of thousands of Tweets and Facebook posts were launched, some of which used words such as "demonic," "omen," and "apocalypse"âand inevitably, of course, referring to "angry birds." What really happened there?
