Join the Movement
Oftentimes parents are not raising boys to be men; our sons are simply getting older, but age does not equate to leadership maturity. Parents who desire to raise sons to be men of standard need to be equipped with practical ways to teach young men how to maturate into thriving adults.
We should consider thought-provoking questions about our son's development:
-
1. How does a boy know when he enters manhood?
-
2. Who affirms and supports this transition from child to adult?
-
3. How can he know the way unless someone teaches and guides him?
-
4. What guidance and support is consistently available to help him at home and in his community?
