Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

Eps 457: Healthy rites of passage for teen boys with Luke Entrup


Listen Later

Luke Entrup is here today to talk about healthy rites-of-passage for our teen boys.  

Luke explains what rites-of-passage are, why they’re important for our teens, and what adolescents get out of these rites-of-passage: a healthy connection to themselves and to their community. We dig into how gender affects these rites-of-passage and how we can create spaces where all genders are celebrated. We touch on toxic masculinity and how we can redefine what masculinity is and means today. I ask Luke if he thinks teenage boys are as hesitant to open up as we think, and he shares what they do at his Father-Son Connection Experiences. We finish today talking about accepting and trusting the kid that you have.
