Finding used tissues and bottles of lube in your teen’s room? Masturbation is a normal part of adolescence, so naturally, your teenager is probably exploring it. But we parents shouldn't be left with the mess, so we advise on how to address it.  And, if your teen is pushing boundaries constantly, just ignoring them won't help. We help you find you the guide rails to put in place and what your next steps should be. Plus, Jo also shares a personal story about her worst-ever panic attack, brought on by a confusing text message from her teenage daughter.  THE END BITS  Subscribe to Mamamia Listen to Jo's episode with Holly Wainwright: Texting, Trolling & Tweens: A Guide To You Child's First Phone GET IN TOUCH: Send us a question to be answered in the show!
