Raising boys isn’t easy. Living isn’t easy! But with patience, trust, and community support, it’s easier — & more pleasant.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Janet Allison & Jennifer L.W. Fink , the hosts of ON BOYS podcast, discuss the reality of raising boys in 2024.
Takeaways:
- Nobody has it all figured out.
- Letting there be room for not knowing is crucial.
- Learning to tolerate discomfort is part of the process.
- Trusting the unfolding of our children’s development is essential.
- You are a different parent than you were a year ago.
- Boy development is trustworthy and unique to each child.
- Watch your boys, not the clock; focus on their growth.
