If you feel like your son ignores you unless you shout, this video is for you. So many parents tell me the same thing. "It's like talking to a wall." "He only reacts when I lose my temper." "He's shutting me out." Here's the truth most parents never hear. Your son is not ignoring you. He's disconnecting. And that disconnection doesn't happen overnight. It happens quietly. Brick by brick. Moment by moment. In this deep dive, I break down why boys stop listening to their parents, especially between the ages of 8 and 14, and what actually works to rebuild connection without shouting, bribing, or constant battles for control. You'll learn: • Why correction without connection pushes boys further away • How emotional safety affects your son's confidence and behaviour • The real reason lectures create shutdown, not respect • A simple three step framework to rebuild trust and influence • How to guide your son without nagging or power struggles If you want a calmer home, better communication, and a son who actually listens again, this video will help.
