Download or read book Raising Boys to Be Good Men written by Aaron Gouveia and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you are the parent of a boy . . . this is the book you need . . . insightful, enlightened, practical." —Peggy Orenstein, New York Times bestselling author of Boys & Sex From the dad who created the viral tweet supporting his son wearing nail polish, this essential parenting guide shares 36 parenting tips for battling gender norms, bringing down "man up" culture, and helping sons realize their potential. Our boys are in a crisis. Toxic masculinity and tough guy-ism are on display daily from our leaders, and we see anger, dysfunction, violence, and depression in young men who are suffocated by harmful social codes. Our young sons are told to stop throwing like a girl. They hear phrases like “man up” when they cry. They are told “boys will be boys” when they behave badly. The “Girl Power” movement has encouraged women to be whoever and do whatever they want, but that sentiment is not often extended to boys. Just watch the bullying when boys try ballet, paint their fingernails, or play with a doll. But we can treat this problem—and the power lies in the hands of parents. It's not only possible to raise boys who aren't emotionally stifled and shoved into stereotypical gender boxes; it's vital if we want a generation of men who can express their emotions, respect women, and help nurse society back to a halfway healthy place. We can reframe manhood. From Aaron Gouveia, who gained viral fame after tweeting his support for his son’s painted fingernails (and who knows toxic masculinity very well), learn practical and actionable tips such as: Don’t accept different standards for moms and dads Teach boys that “girl” is not an insult and retire phrases like “boys will be boys” Show boys that expressing their emotions and being physical is a good thing Let boys pursue nontraditional interests and hobbies Talk to boys about consent and privilege Model healthy and respectful relationships for boys to emulate Penned with equal parts humor, biting snark, and lived advice, Raising Boys to Be Good Men is the essential parenting guide for raising sons to realize their potential outside the box. ​

Download or read book Rise Before the Son written by Jenieka L. Pearson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-04-11 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jenieka L. Pearson wakes up every day knowing that she’s either going to be a student to her son or a teacher. As a single mother, she’s found she’s needed to be both if she wants to raise a man, which is something her own family thought impossible. When her son was just a year old, the author had to listen to her grandfather give a sermon focusing on a mother could never raise a son to be a man. Despite those sentiments, she never stressed about if her boy was going to have a man in his life. She never felt the need to date and rush to be in a relationship with a man who might become her husband for the sake of her son. But she was always aware that society had different expectations. She remains steadfast in her belief that women can raise their boys to be strong, successful, business oriented, goal driven, and powerful. It starts with how mothers spiritually connect with and speak to their boys. Set a tone for growth, nurture the mother-son bond, and help your child establish a foundation for success with the lessons in Rise before the Son.
