Episode 167: Raising Amazing Kids Who Like Their Family and Do The Dishes Without Being Asked, with Dave and Monica Swanson (aka: Boy Mom)

Parenting is not easy. Let’s just start there. 

And yet, being a parent is one of the most important leadership roles we can have. Parents remain the most powerful and important influence in their kids’ lives. Many parents lose sleep over their responsibility, wondering if they’re providing the right boundaries, discipline, and examples to ensure their children have a bright future. Commonly known as the GIRL MOM with Courageous Girls and the Helping Moms Raise Confident Daughters courses, the number one question I, Terra, get asked is, “Where are the resources for boys?” Well, good news…today we are talking about raising amazing kids with the official BOY MOM. 

Yes, today we’ve got author and podcaster, Monica Swanson, as well as her husband, Dave. 

Monica and Dave Swanson co-authored a book, Raising Amazing: Bringing Up Kids Who Love God, Like Their Family, and Do the Dishes WITHOUT BEING ASKED. They combined years of research with personal stories and step-by-step, practical advice to give parents the help they’re looking for as they seek to raise amazing kids. They have been living their best Hawaiian life with their 4 sons for the last 22 years. Monica is the host of the Monica Swanson Podcast (previously the Boy Mom podcast) and author of, BOY MOM: What Your Son Needs Most from You. 

Monica is passionate about cheering on parents to pour into their kids' lives in a way that inspires and shapes them into young adults they are proud to launch into the world.
