Show Notes
You all know I've devoted my life to understanding how teenage girls develop. Today though, I'm shifting my focus to the topic of raising boys. Men are put in a very difficult place in our society these days and if we want more for our boys and families and life, we have to teach young boys how to do better and offer more flexibility in who they become.
The upcoming few episodes will all be around the topic of raising boys. We're starting this mini-series off today with a rewind episode of my interview with Jason Frishman, Psy.D., about fatherhood as social activism. I believe that what he has to say about fatherhood can ground us in this conversation about raising boys because fathers are many times the role models in our boys' lives.
In this episode on fatherhood as social activism, we discuss:
- How the stories we grew up with shaped our view on fatherhood and masculinity;
- Redefining what it means to be a father;
- Why it's harder for men/fathers to find a community in which they can discuss these topics;
- The similarities and differences between motherhood and fatherhood from a cultural point of view;
- The importance of the small things for you and your family;
- How and why this all falls under social activism;
- And so much more!
