This is the sixth part of the 2022 monthly feature on the podcast, covering the “12 Things Your Son Needs Most from You” from my book, Boy Mom. Today I am sharing some snippets from Chapter 7 – Forces at Work: Influences and Role Models. This is an incredibly important topic that I urge parents to pay close attention to! The influences in your child’s life will mold and shape them into who they grow up to become. In this episode, we’re talking about the greatest influence on kids – their own parents(😬! ) as well as sibling and peer influences, role models, and more. I also share about the lonely seasons my sons went through when they made some good, hard choices to pull away from kids who were not good influences. I hope this episode is a big encouragement to you!   Order Boy Mom here! **Also, in show notes find links to some (free!) downloads I created for Boy Mom book readers! www.monicaswanson.com/episode-164 Podcast page (for all episodes) www.monicaswanson.com/podcast Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
