049: My Top Tips for Raising Nice Boys (From a Mom of Three Boys!)
Ever been asked a question in person, and you replay the conversation over and over, a dozen times, rephrasing your answer?
I did that recently, not just rephrasing but adding and rethinking and adding some more.
The question was, “How do you raise such nice boys??”
I decided it would make a pretty decent podcast episode, exploring my meanderings through intentional parenting and how we’ve built a family culture.
Does this advice (If you can call it that) apply to girls too? You betcha. In fact, it’s pretty universal.
I look forward to hearing what you think about:
- the way we chose to parent our newborns and toddlers
- what I think about my husband
- whether boys can be gentle
- the impact of mirror neurons on our kids' brains
- the effect healthy food may or may not have on “nice boys”
- our “people over screens” rules and how we’ve pulled back and released technology over the years
- choice within boundaries, and agency while working as a team on high expectations
- and maybe most importantly - is it ever too late?
