I have an 18 year old son. It’s a constant battle. Between his conservative father, his friends and the internet it’s not easy. I just keep talking.

Furthermore it is the talks the DADS have with thier sons. If Dads change and model for kids, this has WAY bigger impact on sons than mom talks. Both mom and dad talks is pure gold!

Agree! Also, the amount of judgement and ridicule I get as a parent trying to raise an emotionally intelligent young boy is absolutely telling of how so many boys are being raised at home.

Let’s not forget the amount of time these boys are spending on video games with weapons like COD. I have 3 young boys and I refuse to have a gaming console in my home, especially with those games

Thank you Mallory. The conversation is long overdue. The job of being a boy mom is not easy. White or black. Different set of problems but challenges nonetheless. Glad I found your platform.

White Americans have always been a representation of violence. A part of the work you’re talking about is acknowledging and deconstructing that history.

My #1 priority right now is giving my 6 yo an outlet for anger and simultaneously teaching him discipline and self control. Taekwondo has been AMAZING for the second.

💯 As a parent to a teenage boy, I talk daily to him ( since he was young) about healthy emotions.

My 17 year old son was heading to the dark side a few years back, but both his father and I challenged his views and consistently asked him to find the other side of the argument.

As a POC, I noticed this and I’m glad you spoke up. It’s scary for everyone - kids shouldn’t live in fear when they are in school and learning 😭

I keep checking in on my 17 yo. He's also autistic and a gamer, so prime fodder for being brainwashing. I've helped him see some of the messaging, but it's a constant battle.

So many of these comments are addressing what families are teaching their sons at home but peer pressure is ROUGH. The boys need to carry those lessons to the boys who don’t have that foundation.

This is a conversation that is long overdue, and mental/emotional health is a big part of it. But the messaging they’re receiving, the culture war they think they’re fighting -

It's not just up to the mom to teach this. I actually think fathers leading by example would have a bigger impact. But overall, I love the message you are bringing to light. 🤍

A huge problem is having the fathers think this way and act on it bc sadly a lot of the fathers aren’t emotionally mature & intelligent. So it pretty much is up to us women

We have to teach them how to regulate their emotions. Most feelings are subconcious, Men used to be taught to ignore them. We have to teach them it's okay, but we handle the feelings in a safe way.

I have 3 boys and we work on expressing emotions, treating everyone with respect, and impulse control. My middle struggles big with impulse control and he is also in weekly therapy to help.

my ex-mil used to laugh and joke about how terrible my exhusband was as a kid and it was never his fault. When I divorced him for cheating she blamed me. I see this behavior alot

I’ve raised my boys to emotionally mature. Counseling, etc. what this means is my 16 barely has male friends because he can’t stand the way they talk about others especially girls.

I agree with you of course but how many people do you know that even have adequate time after work to spend with their kids? We have an economic problem which exacerbates this problem.

Yes!! 3 of 4 are boys and all in therapy and they STILL don’t want to talk emotions, bc in their world with friends it’s weak. It’s exhausting but we have to keep helping them see how important
