#531: Parenting Perspective for the Teen Years


Listen Later

Have you ever noticed that eye-rolling isn't something reserved just for a teen?


Oh yes, all you have to do is mention parenting teens and you'll see plenty of eye-rolling from moms and dads alike. It's certainly not an easy task, but does it warrant such a negative response?


Is there a way to enjoy parenting through the teen years?


On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, I'm joined by boy mom, Monica Swanson, for a candid discussion about raising not only teens and sons but also daughters. Our conversation weaves in and out of parenting insights and biblical principles as we consider the importance of raising our children for their teen years without fear fueling the process. True to the promises found in her book, Boy Mom: What Your Son Needs Most from You, Monica brings us wisdom, practical advice, resources, and encouragement.


Monica Swanson and her husband, Dave (a hospital physician), are raising four sons on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. They have graduated one son, and homeschool the other three, and they spend much of their free time supporting their sons' competitive surfing and enjoying all that Hawaii has to offer. Monica's background is in sports medicine and fitness, and she shares inspiration for balanced living, as well as recipes, stories, and a ton of encouragement for families on her blog at MonicaSwanson.com.
