I had the pleasure of spending 60 minutes with the authors of the USA Today bestselling book, Talk to Your Boys - Christopher Pepper + Joanna Schroeder!
Their book rejects both the “boys will be boys” permissiveness AND the “toxic masculinity” framework. They propose a third (far more refreshing) path, which we explore in depth.
We cover a greater deal of ground on gender roles, pornography, how young men interact online, setting boundaries in families, how loneliness, isolation, and confusion about masculinity are being weaponized politically, and new ways to think about teenage rebellion. Plus, their recommended books for parents and teenagers, and the greatest strategy for deep conversations with middle schoolers.
Whether you are a parent, caregiver, or invested in youth and human development, this conversation is for you. After this 60-minute discussion, I promise you will leave with incredible insights and actionable strategies.
Enjoy and share!
