What is Raising Sons?

Boys learn what it means to be a man first from their fathers before they learn from other male role models. This five -part series is designed to equip fathers to develop their sons in five essential aspects of manhood.

#1 Emotions and Mental Health Our emotions affect our decisions and actions more than we think. A failure to understand them is to have no control over our actions. How can fathers help their sons in this area, and what is the link between a lack of emotional intelligence and mental health?

#2 Purpose and Passion The people with the strongest sense of purpose in life have a more resilient stress response. How can fathers help their son’s identify their purpose? What about passion? How important is it and how does on discover it?

#3 Courage and Character. Fathers want their boys to be brave and not cowards. What does it mean to be brave? Is cowardice the opposite of courage? How many kinds of courage are there and how do we teach our boys to possess such courage?

#4 Sexuality and Testosterone What make a man a man? How does testosterone affect him? How can fathers raise boys in a sex-crazed world?

#5 Play and Adventure The importance of play has been underestimated by many parents. Learn how play helps in the physical, social and psychological development of your child. Fathers will also learn how they can instill a sense of adventure into their sons.
