In fact, tween and teen boys want connection, meaning, and care; they might just show it in different ways. We welcome the authors of Talk to Your Boys, Christopher Pepper and Joanna Schroeder onto the podcast to share research and strategies for connecting to boys during these formative years.

Individuation is an important theme threaded through the tween and teen years: the formation of independent identity ultimately allows a kid to stand on their own in adulthood. But getting there can sometimes look – and feel – pretty disrespectful. How can we make sense of the challenges, confusion, and sometimes painful moments? (or months?!). Child development specialist and bestselling author Betsy Brown Braun explains this developmental stage and teaches us how to draw lines, set expectations, and not personalize what's happening!

Tech, social media, and the law intersect in ever-evolving and highly confusing ways. Rules vary from state-to-state, without any consistent age gate. This leaves minors – and the adults who care about them – unclear about what is and isn't legal. On topics like child pornography, sexting, sextortion, and revenge porn, Kaitlin Andrews, family lawyer and educator from the Schools Consent Project, offers guidance on where the law is clear, where we're still looking for clarity, and what to do while the ground shifts under our feet.

Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020. In Today's Show: What happens if the Pope commits a crime in a foreign country? Should we practice traditional customs/reverential gestures when attending a Novus Ordo parish or should we conform to the casual atmosphere there? ​Is it a sin if you and your fiance live in the same house but stay in different rooms? Is it OK for laity to anoint people with sacramental oil that is not the holy oil from the church? What does it mean that some will have greater happiness than others in heaven because some will see God more clearly, as stated in the "Catechism for Adults"? Any tips on making a good confession and examination conscience? I saw some Catholic influencers online telling young couples to have children even if they cannot afford it because God will take care of it. Is this good advice? The power of Last Rites Why did Jesus wait for the “right time” to proclaim the Kingdom? Do we as Catholics believe you have to be Catholic to be saved? How do we get an FSSP apostolate in my city? Can you please explain the practical implications of a sacrament being ‘valid but illicit'? For example, if a suspended priest validly consecrates the Eucharist, should the faithful receive it, or abstain out of respect for canonical order? How should one navigate these gray areas? Would you deem it advisable to tear down advertisements for morally wrong activities on billboards? Obviously without breaking the seal of confession, have you ever had a moment in the confessional that just made you laugh afterward? If you could try one miraculous food in Scripture (manna in the desert, the multiplication of the loaves, or the wedding feast wine at Cana, etc.), which one would you choose and why?

It's simultaneously wonderful and worrying to launch a kid. The most common denominator question is a version of this: Are they going to be ok when they leave us? We hope – and wonder – if we've taught them enough to be out in the world. Christina Geist spent her oldest child's senior year of high school compiling those life lessons in Before You Fly Away. Her musings are as heartfelt as they are practical, whether you have a child who is about to fly the nest, one who flew away long ago, or one so young you can hardly imagine that stage of life.

Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020. In Today's Show: Do you anticipate the Traditional Latin Mass will grow and flourish in a very big way the next 10-20 years? I was wondering what the proper etiquette is whenever a priest is entering/exiting the church for mass? My parish largely bows to the priest but I've heard that that is not appropriate. Should Catholic men listen to Andrew Tate? How to properly forgive and forget I've heard a traditional priest once say that if the Godfather isn't holding the baby while the baby is being baptized, he is not a valid Godfather. Is this true? Father's stance on the Neocatechumenal Way What does the church teach about self defense such as karate? Are Catholics allowed to use self defense? Are any of them based in other religions that we should avoid? Can saints and angels hear our mental prayers? Converting for the sake of marriage - is it a "true" conversion? When I went to the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Scapular Mass, I forgot to bring my Scapular. Do I need to get that blessed or, rather, is it the person who is blessed? How do we help Jerusalem and the Christians? During the solemn high mass, the sub deacon wears a certain type of veil and he carries the patent during the offertory. What's the significance? How many of the "extra" biblical miracles are Catholics obliged to believe? At a sung mass, why are the laity instructed to sit during the creed? I'm new to the Latin Mass but interested in attending. Is it okay if I just follow along silently, or am I expected to respond in Latin?

It can be really hard to gauge what tweens + teens actually know about the biggest ticket topics. That's because, in this age of information, they are pummeled with “facts” about sex, drugs, alcohol, nutrition, wellness, and so much more. It can seem like they have encyclopedic knowledge sometimes… until you get past the confident tone and actually listen to what they are saying. This episode will make you feel less alone (you are not the only one who has been dumbfounded by an adolescent!) and help you help them sort fact from fiction.

Parents know better, right? Maybe. While we may have brains mature enough to anticipate what's coming down the road 5, 10, 20 years from now (and the lived experiences to back it up), we can't force our kids to care about the things we deem important. This power struggle occurs throughout the tween + teen years, on everything from minor issues like wearing deodorant to major tensions like grades or substance use. How can we adults learn to manage our own feelings while simultaneously finding ways to inspire our kids? This hilarious and personal episode is packed with that advice.

Setting boundaries takes practice: kids need to learn this skill and most adults need to evolve it. Practically speaking, boundary-setting starts with drawing lines on our kids' behalf. In doing so, we show (more than tell) what is (and isn't!) okay for strangers, family, and friends to do and say — from comments about body changes or clothing choices to judgments about life paths. The trick is to set boundaries while still encouraging connection, because we want kids to learn about limits without walling themselves off.  Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Get your Alloy prescription today.

We're rereleasing this episode because it's gotten even more important since we first recorded it. Move over sex and drugs, there's a new hot topic to add to the list of the zillion talks you'll have with the kids in your life: gambling. It's time to start conversations about everything from online gambling sites to gaming platforms to fantasy sports leagues. Plus add the fact that kid-targeted phone-based apps offer lots of entry points into the world of wagering.  Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Get your Alloy prescription today.

There's knowing your body parts and then there's body literacy. It turns out, both are key to health and safety. If knowing your body parts is like having a map, being body literate is like being able to read a compass. We're joined by Konika Ray Wong, a health educator and author of body books for kids down to age 4. She covers concepts like interoception and attunement  (yes, big words!), central concepts for people who want to understand their body's cues.  Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Get your Alloy prescription today.

The Alloy Studio is an experimental, Black, queer-owned fragrance brand blending glamour with grit. Created by romantic and business partners Bryson Ammons (the perfumer) and Eddie Hodges (the creative director), their fragrances dare and delight with notes like pineapple popsicle, sativa, and 'trashy perfume.' This week, we get the inside scoop on the brand's silver/gold aesthetic, Bryson's independent but community-rooted path to perfumery, and some ACTUAL piping-hot takes.
