Building Boys, Raising Confident, Responsible Young Men.

Jennifer Fink, author of Building Boys, Raising Great Guys in a World that Misunderstands Males, is back to share practical advice and plenty of real-life experiences from raising her four boys.

In our previous podcast, Why Boys Struggle in Elementary School and What Moms Can Do About It, we focused on the challenges younger boys face.

It was such a great conversation that we knew we needed to follow up.

Today, we're picking up where we left off and talking about what happens as boys grow into the middle and high school years.

How do we encourage independence, responsibility, and resilience while still being the moms they need us to be? Jennifer, welcome back.

Thanks, Susie.

So good to be here talking with you again.
