In our latest podcast episode, "Building Bridges: Raising Emotionally Connected Boys," I tackle one of the most pressing challenges parents face today – how to reach our sons when they seem increasingly distant and disconnected.
As a mom of three (including two boys), I've experienced firsthand the struggle to maintain connection with sons who are bombarded with confusing messages about masculinity, emotions, and identity.
This episode isn't just theory – it's practical wisdom born from both professional expertise and real parenting trenches.
You'll discover:
Why so many boys are emotionally shutting down in today's world
The four key signs your son might be struggling (beyond typical "boy behavior")
Practical strategies to build connection instead of pushing for control
How to create safe spaces for authentic expression – even with resistant teens
Balanced approaches to screens and digital influences
Most importantly, you'll learn how to see past challenging behaviors to reach the boy behind the mask – the child who still deeply needs your love and guidance.
This isn't about perfect parenting. It's about building bridges when the gap feels widest.
