About Course
Welcome to the parenting course that will completely change your ideas for raising a boy in the 21st Century!
You are exactly where you need to be in taking the first step to become your son’s greatest advocate.
The first seven years of your son’s life set the stage for the way he feels about himself and his world. Intentional parenting is critical. This course looks at development during the baby years, toddlerhood, preschool years and then the early elementary years, through the lens of raising a boy.
You will explore areas of unconscious gender bias, communication, behaviour and the hidden emotions behind them, self-esteem and why it is so important, The Boy Code, Timed Silence, and much more.
This is the course to start you on the path to raising your son to become a remarkable man.
Questions Parents Frequently Ask:
Babies are babies! Is there really any difference in boys and girls at this stage?
It is a fact that adults, often unconsciously, treat babies differently according to their gender. We are often unaware of how those hidden gender biases are negatively impacting our parenting.
I was raised to believe that you need to use a firm hand to raise a boy right.
We need to be able to look behind our boys behaviours and see what the real emotion is that is driving that behaviour. Behaviour is usually a signal that something is not right in our boys’ world.
My son is quite sensitive and I feel like I need to toughen him up before he heads out to school.
You should understand your son’s emotional world and support his uniqueness. Work with his school to provide acceptance of all kinds of characteristics in both boys and girls. Give your son a strong sense of self and he will be empowered to stay true to himself.
As my son gets older he seems to be more and more distant.
The ‘Boy Code’ is what society tells our boys about how a real boy behaves. By understanding this you can help protect your son’s emotional world and provide a space where he is free to show all of his vulnerable feelings. This deep connection will ensure the doors to communication stay wide open as he grows.
