Nashville-based counselor David Thomas is no stranger to the Rooted Parent Podcast: he hosted the entire first season, All About Boys. For this special episode, David is back, sharing with us about his newest book, Raising Emotionally Strong Boys: Tools Your Son Can Build On for Life. For anyone who raises or mentors boys, David offers excellent insight on several important topics. To name a few:

- teaching the three R's: recognize, regulate, repair

- helping boys manage and channel the physicality of their emotions

- the trap of numbing emotions, particularly through gaming and social media

- how to help a boy who's "stuck"

- teaching boys to regulate their own emotions, rather than "anchoring" with an adult

- the comfort and hope parents can find in praying the Serenity Prayer
