    Nov 18 2025
    It’s not always easy to be a seventh grade boy. Their confidence may be fragile, they tend to lag behind girls in terms of pubertal development, and at school-a place that can feel like it's built for girls- boys may start to feel like they’re falling behind. When that happens, they can become vulnerable to harmful influences and start adopting views–even sexist ones–that can worry parents. In this episode, psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan unpack what’s really going on developmentally for boys in early adolescence, and how parents can respond with empathy and understanding instead of fear or frustration. You’ll learn why boys often struggle more in school at this age, how their neurological growth differs from girls’, and what you can do to protect your son’s confidence and values as he grows into himself. 💡 YOU’LL LEARN: - Why seventh-grade boys face unique biological and neurological challenges - How school environments can unintentionally favor girls’ developmental strengths - How figures like Andrew Tate prey on boys’ vulnerability, and what parents can do about it - How to keep communication open and help boys find confidence in healthy ways This episode is a must-watch for any parent of a tween or teen boy who wants to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface — and how to support his growth with empathy and confidence.

Psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan unpack the double whammy of puberty and menopause under one roof: Why it feels so intense, what’s actually happening biologically, and how families can navigate it with more empathy and less guilt. Lisa also opens up about her personal experience with menopause and how finally seeking treatment changed everything. 💡 YOU’LL LEARN: - Why menopause symptoms are real medical symptoms, and what kinds of treatment and support to ask for - What’s normal about your teen’s mood swings and distance - How to connect with your teen, even if they don’t want to talk - How understanding the hormonal and developmental changes in both generations can ease the tension at home This episode helps parents understand what’s normal for their teens (and what’s happening within themselves) so they can respond with more calm, connection, and compassion.

I am really enjoying the compromise approach for most issues. Learning how to let your child unload at the end of the day and not feel I have to fix every issue mentioned.

Wish I had this info years ago!
