Therapist David Thomas is back, answering all your questions about TWEEN and TEEN boys!

Your questions ranged from gaming, discipline, ragey hormones, and phone use to porn, substance use, and body image. Phew! We covered so much. 

David, the host of the Raising Boys and Girls podcast and the Executive Director of Daystar Counseling, will help you navigate these years and give you SO MUCH HOPE.

Share with anyone who could use some insight into tween and teen boys. They’re precious but so misunderstood. 

Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It. 

Listen in to learn more:

(10:42 - 11:32) Consequences of Phone Misuse

(18:25 - 19:50) Supporting Boys Through Peer Pressure

(29:51 - 30:51) Addressing Pornography and Male-Female Relationships

In this episode, we are diving into healthy boundaries on gaming and technology, why helping our kids regulate is the first step of discipline, consequences that make sense (besides just taking away screens!), body image conversations with our boys, and helping our sons navigate through instead of numbing out when things get tough.
