In today's episode, inspired by the Netflix series Adolescence, I explore the emotional and social challenges facing today’s teenage boys and suggest a curated list of both fiction and nonfiction books to help parents better understand and support their children.

Drawing from key themes in the show—mental health, toxic masculinity, online influence, and emotional isolation—the episode pairs literary insights with practical parenting strategies, tools and reading resources for parents to help them navigate the complexities of raising teens in a digital world.

I hope you enjoy the listen.
