Artificial intelligence is everywhere—but most of our kids are only using it, not understanding it. So the real question is: are we raising kids who can just use technology… or kids who know how to think with it?

In this episode of the Mothers of Boys Survival Guide Podcast, I talk with tech entrepreneur and Coco Coders' founder Elizabeth Tweedale about why coding and computational thinking are becoming essential life skills. We dig into how AI actually works (and where it gets it wrong), why critical thinking matters more than ever, and how we can shift screen time from passive to purposeful.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to keep up with technology right alongside your kids—you’re not alone. This conversation will give you a new way to think about it.

Are you just getting through the day… or intentionally raising a good man?

In this episode of the Mothers of Boys Survival Guide podcast, I talk with Nathaniel Turner, author of Raising Supaman, about how to raise boys with purpose—without adding pressure or perfection to your already full plate.

Nate shares the intentional framework he and his wife used to raise their son as a “Man in Training,” including three powerful pillars that can guide everyday parenting decisions. We also talk about one simple but impactful practice—writing letters to your child—and how it can shape connection, confidence, and long-term growth.

For moms, this conversation offers a perspective shift on our role in raising future men—and why creating space for fathers and male role models matters more than we think.

• How to shift from reactive to intentional parenting
• The “Man in Training” mindset
• A simple 3-part framework for raising boys
• Why writing to your child can shape their future
• Encouraging stronger father-son relationships
• Avoiding the trap of raising a “man child”

If you’ve ever wondered how your kids can grow up in the same home yet be completely different, birth order may have more to do with it than you think. In this episode of the Mothers of Boys Survival Guide Podcast, Suzy Shaw talks with Dr. Robert Hurst, author of Life’s Fingerprint: How Birth Order Affects Your Path Throughout Life, about how birth order shapes personality, behavior, and sibling dynamics—especially when raising boys.

We break down classic birth order traits and go deeper into real-life parenting, including sibling rivalry, blended families, and twins. You’ll walk away with practical insights to better understand your children, reduce conflict, and parent each child for who they are—not where they fall in line.
