If you haven’t yet seen Adolescence on Netflix, what have you been doing?!
Jokes aside, this TV show has been a triggering one for many of us, but especially those parents of boys. It has brought to light many issues around the manosphere, masculinity, and a generation of children who, without a safe space to have open and honest conversations with grownups, can be easily influenced by harmful content elsewhere.
That’s why this week’s bucket emptying episode is all about how to have those difficult conversations with your kids. As the grown up in the room, it is your job to take the reigns with this, and I’m going to help you!
So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy the conversation…
Highlights from this episode:
01:56 - We’re not looking for just one deep conversation
02:56 - Seize natural opportunities
05:07 - Instigate the conversation if needed
08:33 - Don’t confuse silence for an opportunity to keep talking
10:10 - Leave them wanting

I am SO MAD!
Or I was when I first listened to a guest discuss their parenting views on another top podcast. Her guidance - that children should not be in daycare and that women should stay at home for the first couple of years - I felt was too dogmatic, and I immediately jumped on the mic to record this episode.
That professional’s opinion comes from an informed place. However, I strongly disagree with them, and in this episode I want to share what I believe are the five core things you should be providing for your children, irrespective of family structure and circumstances.
Because if you can focus on providing these things, your children will flourish.
