E32: Raising Strong and Courageous Sons in a Culture that Calls Masculinity Toxic | Durenda Wilson
Manage episode 406056772 series 3249145
On a recent episode of the podcast, we talked about how the homesteading lifestyle is a call back to home-centered living: homesteading, homemaking, home cooking, home business, homeschooling, etc. Today’s conversation ventures off from farm and homestead topics and dives into an equally important aspect of homestead life: raising our kids. This chat with Durenda, author and homeschooling mother of eight children (five sons), takes us through the importance of raising our boys into strong men who will lead homes and communities. When the world teaches us to devalue the role of men in our homes and in society, we hope this episode encourages you to drown out the noise and embrace who your sons are made to be.
In this episode, we cover:
Recognizing and supporting the God-given nature of boys
Taking a counter-cultural stance in raising our boys to be strong men
The value of seeking a father’s input in raising sons
Two different approaches to discipline
Why it is so important to take a step back and pause before disciplining
How even our imperfect efforts make a profound impact
Tailoring your homeschooling approach to your son’s learning style
Embracing the challenges and rewards of the teen years
Considerations for parenting a son with special needs
An exhortation to steward our boys into strong, godly men
