Parenting teenage boys can feel like navigating a whole new world. From alcohol and drugs to peer pressure, friendships and growing independence, how do we keep our boys safe without pushing them away? This week on Is It Just Us?, we're talking about the challenges of raising teenage boys, the conversations we need to be having (even when they're very uncomfortable!) and why connection and communication matter more than ever. Are we talking enough, listening enough, and giving our boys the tools they need to navigate the teenage years? Maybe how we are approaching it needs to change?
