Starting a new school year can be tough for any child but for boys, the pressures of fitting in, peer influence, and silent struggles at home can make things even harder.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with youth mentor and criminologist Andrez Harriott to uncover what mum's need to watch out for, the warning signs boys rarely talk about, and how to build the right support systems to help them thrive.

Whether you’re a single mum raising a son or simply want to understand how to guide boys through life’s challenges, this episode is packed with real talk, practical advice, and hope.

We cover:

• The pressures boys face at school and with peers
• Warning signs mums should never ignore
• The hidden impact of fathers in prison
• How intergenerational trauma (ACEs) shapes boys’ lives and how to break the cycle
• Everyday strategies mums can use to help their sons feel safe, seen, and supported

👉 Don’t wait until it’s too late. Watch now and learn how to protect and empower your son this school year.
