| | | Parenting a boy involves a lot of championing, especially as he grows into the teen years. For example: - Your son is a good kid, and you've talked about the dangers of pornography. But sometimes you wonder ...
- You'd like to have a meaningful conversation with your son — if he would only put down his phone or the video game controller.
- You're sure your son would never use drugs. Still, a couple of his friends have said "marijuana is legal now and it's no big deal anyway."
- He's usually pretty upbeat, but lately he's taken to comparing himself to "everybody else" on his social media feed ... and seems less cheery.
On today’s Focus on the Family® Broadcast, youth culture expert Jonathan McKee talks about various types of interconnected battles that teen boys face — and how we parents can champion our sons through those challenges. | | |
