The Understanding Boys Podcast

As a mum of two boys, thinking about the wellbeing if my children occupies much of my thinking time. This episode has given some really helpful tips that we can actually use, and I found Megan really relatable. Different to my usual podcast listening (usually true crime or comedy) but worth every precious listening minute!

Understanding Boys is relevant, engaging, moving and helpful. Thanks Ray, an amazing resource for a parent trying to do a good job!

As a father of three boys the podcasts are all engaging yet different but well worthwhile- well done Dr Ray Swann!

This one’s a bit of a hidden gem, there’s some good stuff, with a range of people sincerely talking about parenting sons in a time where boyhood can be much maligned. It’s conversations between mums and dads, but there’s some meaty stuff too: Judy Chu, Michael Reichert, Robert Blum, Arne Rubinstein, and Megan De Beyer are my picks as experts with plenty of food for thought. Keep up the good work.

The understanding boys series really have taught my family a great deal about dealing with teenage boys. It happened just on time for our 13 old son. Not only this, we started to research about teenage girls for our daughter. The gender difference is huge, and interesting. Thanks Dr Sawn for such wonderful series.

Every episode has had a useful takeaway for me. Thanks Brighton Grammar for fostering education about such an important topic. Mum of two young boys 💙💙

Interesting, in-depth interviews with experts on boy/masculinity growth. The “what’s one thing you’d say to a teenage boy” question is always insightful and often entertaining. Good quality audio recording too.

Absolutely love listening to all the interviews. A diverse array of guests with useful insights and little gems that I can take away as whether as a parent, a partner and member of society. Thank you to Dr Swann and his team for this wonderful resource

I loved hearing from Dr Judy Chu. An academic who is relatable and can share her findings in an easy to understand way. I enjoyed this episode and I found myself nodding along in agreement throughout. Thank you.

Finding these so insightful

& beneficial , loving the range of speakers. Thankyou very much Dr Swann.

So relevant to our world now. Thank you Dr Swann

Outstanding, insightful and compelling listening for every parent!!

Finally a podcast that is relevant and engaging. It contains inspiring local personalities who are in touch with the Australian lifestyle of our boys. Congratulations Brighton Grammar. 👏

Loved the episode and look forward to upcoming ones also. Just some feedback, the sound was not great on this one. Bit scratchy and I found it distracting.
