The Boy Mom Podcast with Monica Swanson and Friends

Ep. 64 : Let them be Kids! Celebrating the Elementary years, with Jessica Smartt
Jessica Smartt, author, speaker, and mom to 3 elementary-age kids (2 boys, 1 girl) joins us today to talk about the joys and challenges of raising elementary-age boys. Jessica’s new book, Let Them be Kids, is one of my favorite books of 2020, and we get to talk about some highlights of the book, as well as the magic, mischief, and madness of raising little boys. We also touch on some of the challenges parents of elementary kids face — many of which fall under the category of technology. I hope you can grab a cup of coffee (or strap on your tennis shoes) and feel like you’re right there with Jessica and I as we have this chat. Find more in show notes:
