Ben Boyce: Social media, distractions, and parenting in public

Award-winning radio host and super proud dad Ben Boyce sits down with Jenny and Dayna to share some glorious tales from his parenting journey.   Ben’s been making people laugh for years; he's one of the creative forces behind the hit comedy series, Jono and Ben, and he's the co-host on The Hits Breakfast show. We reckon he might have been the King of Dad jokes and pranks before he became a dad himself!  In this episode, we hear what it’s like for Ben raising daughters in today’s landscape, the challenge of distractions when you’re a busy parent, and how he deals with seeing his girls navigate disappointments of their own.  Jenny also shares some useful tips on how to communicate where we’re at with our kids, how to say sorry well when we stuff up, and why often it’s the simple moments of connection we have with our kids that trump everything else.  Parents We’ve Met is brought to you by Parenting Place – a charity with a heart for New Zealand families.
