How do we raise kind, thoughtful boys in a world that still tells them they have to be tough? What happens when we realise the systems we’ve grown up in don’t serve any of us… including our children?
In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Lauren Currie, author, advocate, founder of UPFRONT, and mum to a young son. Lauren’s new children’s book, Taylor Meets The Trick, gives families a simple, hopeful way to spot gender stereotypes (“the trick”) and have real conversations about fairness, kindness, and confidence.
We explore:
- How to raise boys who see beyond gender roles and lead with empathy
- Everyday ways the patriarchy shows up in parenting (and how to call it out)
- Why the language we use with our kids matters more than we think
- How children can become the teachers when it comes to spotting bias
- The subtle ways adults are “tricked”… and how to unlearn them
Lauren also shares how she’s raising her son to question stereotypes without shame, what she’s had to unlearn herself, and how parents can make these conversations part of everyday life without it feeling heavy.
Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, teacher, or simply someone who wants to help create a fairer, softer future, this episode will give you ideas, language, and a lovely story to share with the children in your life.
