54. The Confidence Crisis in Teen Boys: Why Your Son Doubts Himself (And 3 Ways to Build Him Back Up)


Listen Later

Do you ever look at your teenage son and think, “He’s capable of so much more, what’s stopping him?” You’re not alone.

In this episode of Raising Boys, Building Men, Heidi shares the truth about confidence.  And it’s not built by pep talks or praise. It’s built through experience. You’ll learn three powerful ways to help your teenage son strengthen his confidence and self-esteem without nagging, rescuing, or pushing:

  • Let him struggle safely (and why that matters)

  • Give him meaningful responsibility

  • Encourage him to serve others

    These small but powerful shifts will help your son develop grit, self-trust, and a sense of purpose which is the real foundation of confidence.
