Over the past few years, we've heard a lot about the challenges facing boys and young men. Whether it's mental health, friendship, academic success or simply figuring out what it means to grow into a good man, many parents are asking the same question: How do we raise boys who are kind, resilient, confident, and prepared for the world they're in today?
That's the question at the heart of the book Building Boys: Raising Great Guys in a World That Misunderstands Males. It combines research, practical advice, and real-life parenting to help families better understand how boys grow, learn, and thrive. Gemma Gaudette sat down with Fink when her book first came out, now the book is reaching a new audience with its paperback release.
Jennifer Fink, award-winning writer, mother of four sons, and author of Building Boys, joined Idaho Matters to dive deeper into how to raise boys.
