    Growing up requires the building blocks of many, many skills over time. From crossing the street to driving a car to working a first job, each new level demands increased self-sufficiency. The hard part for parents is knowing when a kid is ready for each stage and the best ways to let go. This episode offers guidance for the journey that kids (and parents) will travel along the way.

    The Role of Trusted Adults
    2026/04/28
    “Find a trusted adult.” Kids hear this endlessly––you probably do, too, if you’re a frequent listener to this podcast. Why? Because it’s one strategy that’s proven to keep kids safe and healthy. In this episode, we take a deeper dive into trusted adults: who are they? What role can and should they play? How and why should they set boundaries? And how can they support themselves as they support kids? To guide us, we’re joined by Dr. Brooklyn Raney, an educational researcher and practitioner whose entire mission is to help train trusted adults. Show Notes: Watch the full episode on Youtube!

  • Countdown to the Bittersweet Send-Off

    Countdown to the Bittersweet Send-Off
    2026/04/24
    It’s simultaneously wonderful and worrying to launch a kid. The most common denominator question is a version of this: Are they going to be ok when they leave us? We hope – and wonder – if we’ve taught them enough to be out in the world. Christina Geist spent her oldest child’s senior year of high school compiling those life lessons in Before You Fly Away. Her musings are as heartfelt as they are practical, whether you have a child who is about to fly the nest, one who flew away long ago, or one so young you can hardly imagine that stage of life.

    Our Tech Debate with Jonathan Haidt + Catherine Price
    2026/04/07
    The world around kids’ access to technology is changing at lightning speed – from bell-to-bell school phone bans to the re-emergence of the landline to governmental social media limits for those under 16. No one has been more at the center of these shifts than social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. He joins us along with his The Amazing Generation co-author Catherine Price for a lively conversation about different approaches to navigating tech. Spoiler alert: we don’t always agree!

    Looksmaxxing, the Manosphere, and our Boys
    2026/03/31
    Two particularly powerful forces affecting boys – looksmaxxing and the manosphere – have gone mainstream. If you care about boys and young men, you must educate yourself in order to talk to them. Looksmaxxing and the manosphere have a fair amount of overlap, which is why a conversation that begins about one often lands at the other. To talk about these topics, you need to know what they are, the vocabulary they have spawned, how they overlap, and the ways in which they have nothing to do with one another. We’ve got you covered!
