Growing Pains is a podcast from HoneyKids Asia for the conversations parents want to have after the kids go to bed.
In each episode, we speak to experts, parents, and people with lived experience about the realities of raising kids today — from relationships, identity, mental health and screen time to school pressure, family dynamics, and everything in between.
These are honest, thoughtful conversations that say the things many parents are thinking, but rarely say out loud. No judgement, no perfect parenting, just real stories, practical insights, and a reminder that none of us are figuring it out alone.
