Kelly Taylor: class WhatsApp group drama, leaving primary school and getting ready for secondary school

My guest today is content creator Kelly Taylor (previously known as Kids and the Commute) who turns the chaos of the school run, class WhatsApp groups and the work-and-kids juggle into some of the funniest, most relatable content on social media.

Since her eldest daughter has just left primary school and is about to start secondary school, I wanted to chat with Kelly about all of the emotions involved. She also tells me about how she's been preparing her daughter for Year 7 and why she's been deliberately stepping back and letting her fight her own battles for the past year.

We also chat about:

The most bonkers class WhatsApp drama she's heard aboutWhy non-uniform day is the most stressful day of the school year in her houseThe real cost of secondary school uniform versus primaryHer rule about phones staying in bags when her daughter's out with friendsThe secret safe word she and her daughter use if something's ever wrongWhere she stands on tracking apps like Life360
