  • [RE-RELEASE] How to Raise Emotionally-Mature Boys With Raising Cain Author, Dr. Michael Thompson
    Dec 4 2024

    They say, "Boys will be boys." But when you're a dad struggling to connect with your son, it’s easy to wonder if you’re doing things the right way. Many dads unknowingly carry the weight of stereotypes about boys—ones they themselves faced growing up. As a result, they often fall into familiar patterns or feel completely lost about how to guide their sons.

    The truth is, boys don’t have to fit the image that society expects of them—and that’s okay. Dads have the power to make a difference in their sons’ lives by breaking free from these stereotypes and embracing a more supportive approach.

    In this important rereleased episode, Dr. Michael Thompson dives into how dads can nurture their sons' emotional wellness, even if it means going against the grain. This conversation is a timely reminder of the impact fathers can have when they choose to lead with understanding and connection. Don’t miss it!

    “A dad has to know, you don’t get a standard-issue boy. When your boy is born, he’s got all the equipment. But you don’t know whether he’s gonna like and fit the image of masculinity.” - Dr. Michael Thompson

    In this Episode:

    • Michael shares the story of how he became an expert on the behavior of boys
    • Learn about how stereotypes have impacted the way boys are disciplined at home and in school
    • Discover the impact of dads that are more involved in their sons’ emotional development
    • Learn how fathers can support their sons despite cultural stereotypes
    • Learn tips on how dads can better communicate with their sons
