Today, the UK’s most loved children’s channel, CBeebies Parenting, launches series three of their hit podcast, CBeebies Parenting Helpline.
BBC Radio 1 presenter Charlie Hedges will be taking the reins as host this season, as Holly Hagan-Blyth takes a break to spend time with her family. Across eight brand-new episodes, Charlie will delve into some of the most relatable, relevant, and challenging topics that parents with toddlers face today. With the help of a range of experts, including clinical psychologist Dr Martha, founder of Little Happy Learners Sophie David and Psychosexual Therapist Kate Moyle.
Each episode features real questions from listeners such as:
How can I regain my confidence after my c-section?
How do me and my partner regain our spark since having kids?
How do I navigate bad influences on my young son?
Charlie also invites her dad to join her for a special episode, offering listeners an intimate and heartfelt discussion as she reflects on the invaluable support her parents have offered throughout her own parenting journey. Guided by expert Phillipa Perry, they also dive into listeners’ honest and often emotional questions, including a grandfather who wanted to know how much support he should continue to give, while his son is an absent father.
The new series also introduces an exciting new feature, where well-known names will also send in their real-life parenting dilemmas for the experts. This includes heartfelt, funny, and candid submissions from celebrity parents, such as Jon Bon Jovi, Louise Pentland, Hollie McNish, Charlotte Dawson and many more throughout the season.
Expect everything from open and heartfelt conversations around mental health and relationships, to practical tips around at-home activities and child development skills. Parenting Helpline continues its mission to bring compassion and expert guidance to parents with toddlers, creating a safe space where no parent feels alone.
