Oh Boy oh boy, these BOYS! | POF63

This episode is to help you with all the men and boys in your life!   In today’s day and age, boys are more misunderstood than ever, and are at a disadvantage.  You may not believe it, but it’s true! Life as a parent of a boy can be challenging and confusing.  They have so much energy when they’re young only for them to grind to an almost standstill, in their tween and teen years where we’re seeing them get hooked on screens and gaming. We used to call boys who developed a bit slower, “late bloomers” and now we call them, “lost causes.”  The fact is that our boys ARE slower to develop, the do have DIFFERENT brains and it’s important we understand these differences so we give them the best chance to thrive! My guest, Janet Allison, is a boy expert and explains the keys to unlocking our boys (and the men in our lives)!  When you better understand your boy, his challenges, and his opportunities, you’ll experience new and better possibilities for you and your family! Check the “From the Podcast” section for a free guide on boys from Janet!   About Janet Allison Janet Allison, a lifelong learner with a passion for teaching, Boys Alive! was born out of her realization that school is mostly set up for girls to succeed.
