Right now is undeniably a tough time to support young people.

With so many pressures on your time, energy and resources,

it can be difficult to give a child everything they need,

even more so when you're faced with defiance, disruption or challenging behaviour.

My name is Marie Gentles, and my new book Gentle Guidance

draws on my decades of expertise and gives you the toolkit you need to be the best support you can be,

and the best bit, the change starts with you.

Gentle Guidance is out now online and in all good bookshops.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Happy Mum, Happy Baby, the podcast.

Today's guest is the one show presenter.

The only one show presenter.

Not the only one, but it's called The One Show, so she is the one today.

It's Alex Jones. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Hello. Thanks for having me.

Oh, it's a pleasure. It's a pleasure. Thank you for coming on.

Well, no problem. I've been listening to these podcasts.

I absolutely love them. Love you.

Love you, empty in the dishwasher.

Listening to you in Divina.

I love it. That's my guilty pleasure when it comes to podcasts.

I'll do the washing up tonight, dear.

I know. You just gives you a bit of me time, actually.
