Raising boys isn’t easy. Living isn’t easy! But with patience, trust, and community support, it’s easier — & more pleasant. In this wide-ranging conversation, Janet Allison & Jennifer L.W. Fink , the hosts of ON BOYS podcast, discuss the reality of raising boys in 2024. Takeaways: • Nobody has it all figured out. • Letting there be room for not knowing is crucial. • Learning to tolerate discomfort is part of the process. • Trusting the unfolding of our children’s development is essential. • You are a different parent than you were a year ago. • Boy development is trustworthy and unique to each child. • Watch your boys, not the clock; focus on their growth. • Look at your kid, not the milestones set by society. • Parenting is the greatest personal development course. • Let go and let us be your safety net.
