Warning: this vlog touches on the topic of suicide.
In this "Maggie Moment", one of Australia's favourite parenting authors Maggie Dent discusses our vulnerable adolescents. Maggie discusses how we all have a tipping point in terms of our emotional self-regulation, but when we are teens we can be quicker to reach our tipping point because our emotional barometer can be more sensitive.

What a tragic story with that ladies son...how horrible. As a parent of a teen boy who has moments, and a mum (me) who has moments...lol...how do we say no to that extra biscuit or put a rule in place without thinking that it could be a tipping point??

I struggle to cope more than most moms because I have adult ADHD, which means I have very poor organization, time management, boundaries, discipline, filter for my mouth, and emotional regulation. Now that the oldest three are teens and tweens I am finding it even harder. I am very worried for two reasons:
