| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast. I'm Gwen Smith and I'm so glad |
| 0:09.3 | you've joined me today. Around here we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations, all to help you |
| 0:16.1 | know and trust God more. Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always practical. And they're going |
| 0:23.0 | to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace of Jesus in the midst of |
| 0:29.1 | cluttered messy days. You got any of those? I know I do. And I can't wait to get to today's |
| 0:35.2 | conversation, which is all about raising honorable, |
| 0:38.6 | kind, and confident kids. My guest today is author and popular blogger Monica Swanson, who has a new |
| 0:45.5 | book out called Boy Mom. Now, although Monica's book is focused on parenting your son today for |

| 1:17.5 | becoming. The truth is we all desperately want to raise our children or influence the children in |
| 1:23.4 | our lives well. And there are tons of questions we face along the way. You know, questions like |
| 1:28.4 | how much screen time is too much? How do I know when my child is ready for more freedom? |
| 1:34.4 | How can I help my child feel loved and secure? And how in the world is the fridge empty again |
| 1:40.4 | already? I've asked that last question about a million times. Today my conversation with |
| 1:45.9 | Monica is filled with road tested real world advice and insights that are blended with biblical |
| 1:52.1 | wisdom and compelling research. And I'm confident this episode is going to give you some practical |
| 1:57.5 | tools that you need to love your children well and to parent today |
| 2:01.4 | with their future in mind. Before we head into the episode, I want to give a big Graceology shout |
