3. How to Stay Connected with Your Teenage Son


Listen Later

Is technology replacing quality time with your son?

Growing up today is different to how most of us remember. Technology and its demands on our children are creating new ways to connect, but more ways to feel disconnected.

Trent Thomas, Mathematics teacher and Director of Formation at Redfield College, discusses how to build trust, make room for quality time and handle technology with your son in this episode. A father himself, Trent shares some tips he's learned along the way to keep up with the world your son is growing up in and stay relevant to your son and his education.

Today's attraction to technology, exposed to children at ages far earlier than before, poses a risk to father-son relationships, dedication to study and nurturing talents in young boys.

This episode will give you an insight into understanding your child's perspective, cultivating a healthy use of time on technology at home, and keeping the important things in focus for your child during their most critical years as a student.

  • Learn what a good Father/Son relationship looks like between you and your teenager
  • How to deal with the demands of technology on your children's generation, by working with technology rather than against it
  • How to help your child cultivate their talents with discipline, accountability and the help of their teachers
