#230 Coaching Kids With Tim French

About this episode

Tim French discusses effective communication strategies for parents of boys.

Today's guest is an absolute legend when it comes to understanding boys... and judging by this chat, parents too. Tim French is a father of two boys, a teacher, and now a parent educator who's helped countless young men find their feet when they've lost their way. He's seen struggling teenagers become school captains and says the key isn't tougher parenting or stricter rules — it's connection. A common interest, a shared goal, and adults who genuinely care. In this episode, Tim shares practical advice on how to talk to boys in a way that actually gets through, the phrases parents should avoid, and the surprisingly simple moments when kids are most likely to open up. And if you've ever worried about the influence of the manosphere, social media, or where your son is getting his ideas from, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
