Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Raising Boys as Sensitive and Intuitive Humans with Justin Baldoni


Listen Later

If you are raising a man, identify as a man or love a man this episode will mean the world to you! I know it means the world to me as a mom of 3 boys and a wife of one man. 

In today’s Language of Love Conversation, actor, director, author, and father Justin Baldoni unpacks how this question motivated him to write his recent book, Boys Will Be Human. Justin shares the insights and clarity he wishes he had been given as a young man. We connect over our experiences as parents as we struggle through trying to  

help our own children become the people they’re destined to be. 

In this conversation, we break down:

  • How social pressure and our own unconscious conditioning can act as a barrier to helping our boys grow into healthy men 
  • Tips for teaching boys to move through feelings rather than ignore or hide them 
  • How to tackle bullies and bystanders who squelch our boys’ creativity and self expression 
  • The unexpected effects Porn has on developing brains and how the idea of sexual consent plays out in boys’ sex education. 

  • Check out Justin’s podcast, Man Enough, and be sure to read his book, Boys Will Be Human, with your kiddos!
