Billy Garvey is back!! Parental preference & raising boys

He’s our most regular KICBump guest and he’s back for his 5th time! 

Billy Garvey is a dad of 3, a developmental pediatrician, a senior specialist at one of Australia’s largest tertiary pediatric hospitals, and co-host of the podcast 'Pop Culture Parenting'.

Billy has a new book coming out called ‘Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Raising Boys’, so in this episode, Steph speaks with Billy about what is unique about raising boys - including anger, gender roles, and help seeking. They also speak about parental preference, repairing with your children, and mental health first aid.

Trigger warning: Steph & Billy briefly discuss suicide in this episode. If you need support, you can contact Lifeline 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.
