While every teen is an individual, generally our boys and girls are different. Raising boys is exciting and challenging, however, our culture is often geared more toward girls. From problems highlighted in the media to classroom expectations, our boys’ world has a feminine lean. Understanding what is happening and how our boys function is essential to their wellbeing. Janet Alison from Boys Alive pulls back the curtain and shows us what is really happening as she chats with podcast host Sandy Fowler on Mighty Parenting. They discuss what this is doing to our boys as well as what parents need to be aware of and how we can support our boys and raise strong, compassionate young men.

Yes, yes, yes!!!! This is SO true!!! Thank you for addressing this issue of feminizing our sons by expecting them to act like the girls! It provokes to frustration and anger!!! This is spot on! Not to be confused with expecting obedience and instilling self control, but allowing for boys to develop as men and into men. We definitely need more male influence on our sons particularly in education and mentorship. Thank you for discussing this!
