Raising Boys: Redefining Strength and Kindness in Masculinity

When I think about what I want to teach my son about masculinity, I always come back to the idea that real strength is found in kindness, honesty, and vulnerability. Growing up, I saw men who felt pressured to hide their emotions, but I want my boy to know that it's okay to feel, to cry, and to ask for help. We talk about respecting others, standing up for what's right, and being true to himself—even when it's hard. I hope he learns that masculinity isn't about fitting a mold, but about becoming a good, compassionate human being. What values do you hope to pass on to your sons?

Why Letting Boys Cry Matters: Breaking the Silence Around Emotions

Growing up, I often heard, "Boys don't cry." But as a parent now, I see how much that message can hurt. My son once came home from school, tears in his eyes after a tough day. Instead of telling him to "man up," I sat with him, listened, and let him feel. In that moment, I realized how important it is to give our boys permission to express their emotions without shame. Tears aren't a sign of weakness—they're a sign of being human. Let's raise boys who are comfortable with their feelings and know it's okay to be vulnerable. How do you support emotional expression in your family? Share your thoughts below! #LetBoysCry #EmotionalIntelligence #ParentingBoys #Parenting

Why Teaching Boys About Periods Matters for Everyone

Should boys learn about periods? Absolutely. I remember the first time my son asked me about the pads in our bathroom cabinet. Instead of brushing it off, I took a deep breath and explained what periods are and why they’re a normal part of life. His curiosity was genuine, and our conversation was open and honest. I realized that by teaching him early, I was helping to break the stigma and build empathy. When boys understand periods, they grow into men who support and respect the women in their lives. Let’s raise a generation that’s informed and compassionate. What are your thoughts? Have you had a similar conversation at home?

Are Boys Really Wild by Nature? My Honest Take as a Parent

Are most boys actually wild or feral? As a mom of two energetic sons, I’ve often wondered if this is just a stereotype or if there’s some truth to it. From climbing trees to turning the living room into a racetrack, my boys seem to have an endless supply of energy and curiosity. Sometimes, their wildness feels overwhelming, but I’ve come to see it as a beautiful part of their growth and spirit. Their adventurous hearts remind me to embrace the chaos and find joy in their untamed moments. What about you? Do you see this wild streak in your boys, or is it just a phase?
