As our sons grapple with growing from boys to men, they experience beautiful, baffling, and sometimes terrifying, development. They set fire to things, they do wimp tests, they play video games all night. They take risks, argue and fight, seek sensations of all kinds and go where they shouldn’t.
As parents raising our sons, we experience beautiful, baffling, sometimes terrifying moments too! And we all want to know…
"Can we please talk about boys!?"
In this era of toxic masculinity and the #metoo movement, we can find ourselves worrying about our sons more than ever.
In this era of toxic masculinity and the #metoo movement, we can find ourselves worrying about our sons more than ever.
We agonize over their safety, their physical health, their mental health and their relationships. We marvel at their growth and strength while simultaneously mourning the loss of their sweet, baby faces and our night time cuddles.
We bemoan the state of their room, the mortifying smells they are somehow now capable of conjuring, and their ability to empty the fridge faster than we can fill it!
But mostly we worry about the kind of men they will become.
Understanding how our boys are developing, what to expect at different stages, and how to parent through those shifts, is an important part of raising boys that will become the kind of men we want to see in 2022 and beyond.
Join me in this FREE webinar, Can we please talk about boys?
Together we’ll dive into the developmental stages of our boys, what to expect and when, and how to work together to embrace and enhance the best in your son.
Your son is wonderfully unique. And understanding him is the first step to raising him well. But sometimes that’s easier said than done – particularly at certain developmental stages when boys can seem so vulnerable and prone to disaster.
If you’ve attended any of my webinars, workshops, or summits you’ll know that I believe in the science of parenting. And it’s no different when it comes to parenting our boys.
...to help us understand our boys (like the fact that their brains aren't fully developed until the age of 25!)
...that research shows are vital for their success in life – such as responding to boundaries, being able to express emotions, and communicating to problem solve
...to learn how to make these developmental stages a positive time for your boys, and you as well
