The Boy Mom Podcast with Monica Swanson and Friends

Ep. 69 : Intentional Parenting in The Teenage Years {with Krista Gilbert}
Word on the street is that all the fun of raising boys ends when they become teenagers…that boys will pull away from their parents…rebel..experiment, and on and on. But does it have to be that way? Krista Gilbert – author, podcaster, and mom of 3 teenage boys (as well as one daughter!) and I dive in deep to discuss our experience raising teen boys. We talk about what an absolute blast teen boys can be, as well as some of the harder stuff. We cover friendships, dating, substance abuse, and more. I love this conversation so much and I think you will, too!
