Why starting Secondary School is just as Overwhelming for Parents as it is for students!

Helen Wills

Helen Wills is a writer, multi award-winning UK family lifestyle blogger and podcaster. She started her blog Actually Mummy in 2011, when she realized that talking to the four walls and a baby was never going to be enough. Since then she’s charted her (often hilarious) encounters with her children, right up until the present day, when they are no longer funny. 

Helen now writes about the whole spectrum of raising her teen son and daughter, from the emotionally tough, to the frankly ridiculous. Never afraid of taking the less popular view, she is often to be found challenging stereotypes on Instagram and Facebook at @actuallymummy. She’s also fond of a colorful outfit, and gives short shrift to anyone who thinks 52 is past it. 

Helen's podcast Teenage Kicks takes the fear out of parenting teens, by asking for answers from the best people of all - those who've been there themselves, and come out the other side in a good place.
