I found this podcast at just the right time! I have a 12 year old and have been feeling a lot lately like I am not doing this right. Feeling like I don’t know how to parent a tween, and losing my connection I have had until now. Your podcast shows me that I am not alone in feeling this way. I feel more confident now that I have the tools to continue being a great mom! Thank you so much!
Heidi is very knowledgeable and an effective commentator. It's about time we focus on raising teen boys!
Relatable, there are very valuable tips. Wish it were longer and some deeper dives into some specific situations.
As a parent of a 17 boy, I love Heidi’s podcast, “Raising Boys, Building Men.” It’s super helpful for understanding and raising my son. Practical advice from a qualified, experienced coach/mom/social worker. Highly recommend!
