43. How to Raise Kind Teenage Boys When the World Isn't


Listen Later

This episode gives you three practical ways to teach your teenage son that kindness is actually strength, not weakness, even when his world tells him otherwise.

Listen if: You're struggling with a son who's becoming mean to siblings or friends, or you want to prevent your kind boy from hardening as he navigates high school social pressures.

Key takeaways:

  • Model kindness in your own conversations - Pay attention to how you talk about teachers, coaches, and neighbors in front of your son because he's learning from every word
  • Celebrate kindness like you celebrate wins - Point out acts of kindness you see and praise them specifically so your son learns to value character over status
  • Show him that his heroes are kind people - Help him see that true strength comes from choosing kindness, not from being the loudest or most aggressive
  • Golden quote: "The most confident kids that come through my house are also the kindest kids... confidence and kindness go hand in hand."
