The Parenting Pair
Welcome to The Parenting Pair Youtube channel! We’re Dr. Annalise Caron and Dr. Suzanne Allen—child and adolescent clinical psychologists-- and moms of teens and tweens. After years of fielding questions at the bus stop, on the sidelines, and in our offices, we created this channel to bring compassionate, evidence-based guidance straight to you.
Each week, we tackle real questions from parents and explore all things related to teens, tweens, development and mental health. Together, we’ll offer practical support for navigating the ups and downs of raising tweens and teens—especially when challenges arise.
You’re doing important work. Let’s do it together.
