What you say & do next, of course, depends on the age of your son. And your mood & energy that day. And your family values.
But HOW you say whatever you’re doing to say matters too.
That’s the kind of thing Janet Allison & I will teach you during Talk with Boys Like a PRO.
This three-class series begins on Tuesday, May 7th, when we’ll cover:
How to get him to REALLY LISTEN to you (without nagging or losing your cool!)
In this first class, you will learn:
WHY your communication hasn’t been working so far
WHEN to talk with him (and when not to)
WHERE to talk with him (so he’ll be ready to talk to you)
HOW TO create new ways to connect (esp. if the old ones have stopped working)
Talk with Boys Like a PRO (about anything and everything!)

I didn’t see the many ways in which gender affects boys’ lives until — well, until I’d been a “boy mom” for nearly four years.
…I didn’t realize that massive misunderstandings regarding boys’ needs and developmental trajectory underpinned most of their socialization.
If I’d know any of that, I might have been more prepared when my bright son started telling me he “hated school” at age five. I probably wouldn’t have spent so much time crying as we navigated the tween years, and I would have proactively prepared for my boys’ teen years.
…I don’t want you to be as unprepared as I was, so I’m going to shine a light on the potential pitfalls that lie ahead…
That passage is from Chapter 1 of my book, Building Boys: Raising Great Guys in a World That Misunderstands Males.
And that’s part of what we’ll talk about in Building Boys Book Club on Thursday April 25. (Did you register yet?)
We’ll talk about WHY these are such challenging stages — & we’ll discuss HOW to support boys going through these stages:
Starting school
The tween years
Adolescence
We’ll talk about how to support one another too!
Come join us.
Here’s to building boys!

Boys can be tough to talk to.
You wanna know, What’s going on at school? With friends?
But even a simple, “How was your day?”can result in eye-rolling.
This is super-common (and super-annoying).
One-word answers, grunts, and closed doors are typical barriers that boys use to protect their privacy (and give themselves time to think).
Communicating with your boy takes understanding and persistence.
We’ll show you how.
Join me & Janet, my ON BOYS podcast host, for an exclusive, three-part series that will help you:
Navigate your son’s resistance,
Increase his trust in you, and
Foster a closer connection
