Raising boys is not easy. And as a mom, you desire to see your son grow into a healthy, loving, and kind man. We want to help you guide your son in this direction.

When you sign up to receive the free five-part video series called “Recognizing Your Son’s Need for Respect”, you will get actionable steps and biblical insight on how to guide your son as he becomes a mature individual.
I read an article from a major publication earlier this year explaining how mass shootings are not the fault of too many guns or mental illness, but … brace yourself … manhood itself. As a man and the father of a young man, I was stunned at the audacity and ignorance of such a statement.
Teaching our boys to be men is not dangerous, and we fathers should not shrink from this essential task. We examined the qualities of manhood that are most valued across human cultures. Wherever we find a community teaching and praising positive manhood, we find the following qualities in men.
What does a boy really need to become a man?
A man’s primary role is to provide for, protect, and be in relationship with his family. That role requires a man to develop character. But you may have been involved with men who did not live up to their primary roles, and consequently your son may not have had an ideal role model. So here’s my list (compiled with help from single moms) detailing many of the qualities that make a good man. Instill these qualities in your boy to help him become a good man.
