Episode Details

This week I had the good fortune to interview Janet Allison of Boys Alive! for the podcast. 

Janet is a family coach and Waldorf mentor and evaluator. She is the author of Boys Alive! Bring Out Their Best and the host of BOY TALK a monthly podcast in which she interviews "parenting experts and expert parents" on a monthly theme.

During the interview Janet mentioned a few resources that you parents and teachers might find useful.

The Boys Alive! private Facebook group is a fantastic resource for parents seeking support from a community of parents and teachers caring for boys together. The group is closed, so just request membership to become a part of the great things that are going on there.

Check out the Boys Alive! blog where you can find an extensive index of topics that parents and teachers of boys face.

During our conversation, Janet mentioned a series of posts she did about boys and gun play. You can find that series by following this link.
