Raising Tweens, Teens with Wisdom from Dads Who Have Done It

March 16, 2017 by Matt Schneider Leave a Comment

You finally master diaper changes, swaddling and burping then you turn around and — WHAM! Now you have to conquer the art of raising tweens and teens.

We have five City Dads Group members on the new Modern Dads Podcast who will put you a little more at ease by sharing their tales of raising tweens and teens in today’s crazy world.

City Dads columnist Whit Honea, a member of our L.A. Dads Group and the author of The Parents’ Phrase Book, discusses dealing with the excessive homework his 11-year old son receives from one of his teachers.

City Dads columnist Seth Taylor, a California-based college professor and writer, worries about the possible negative reaction his daughter will receive from classmates to her very public support of the gay community.

City Dads columnist Vincent O’Keefe, an at-home dad and parenting writer who is a member of our Cleveland Dads Group, remembers how he reacted when he realized his tween daughter had became a teen.

Leadership coach, speaker and NYC Dads Group member Devon Bandison recalls the exact moment he knew his 15-year old son was watching his every move.

And finally, blogger and photographer Jeff Bogle, a Philly Dads Group member, encourages dads to break down tropes and embrace being the fathers of daughters living in a modern world.
