Your Son and Sex: Preparing to Talk to Your Son About Sex

Discussing sex with your son can be awkward and uncomfortable–but it doesn’t have to be. During this episode I begin our discussion on talking with your son about sex. It includes a few resources and considerations to prepare you to start the conversation. Too often our teens learn about sex from their peers, social media, internet, and sources other than their parents or a trusted adult. The most important thing that you can do with him and for him is to talk openly and honestly about about the responsibility of a relationship and the expectations that he assumes with someones emotional well being.

Getting Your Son Organized

It’s the top of the year and its a good time to re-calibrate your son to help strengthen his routines if has them or develop them if he doesn’t. During this episode, I go over four domains to help your son develop habits and routines to support his success. Those domains are: Planning, Organizing, Routines, and Tools. Observing your son is the essential ingredient to helping him develop habits that support his success.

The Gift of Time

Happy Holidays! During this episode I shared a gift that you can give your son that he will cherish all-year-round. The gift of “Time.” By giving your son the gift of time you’re connecting, allowing him to see you outside of the role of mom, and most important, communicating that you love him. Your son needs an adult he can trust and talk to—let it be you.

A Curious Approach To Adolescent Young Men

During this episode, I share my approach, philosophy (Always Be Curious about Why), and the benefits my clients and I have experienced applying it over the years. Curiosity has helped to strengthen relationships with young men, suspend judgment, actively listen, seek to understand, and led to getting to the why? In your dynamic relationship with your son, this is a strategy that you can employ to connect and better understand him. Parenting is an art and science.

Ep 5: How Do I Introduce Careers to My Son?

This episode I help moms explore the career equation. The most difficult job of a parent is to discover their children's inherent gift and natural aptitudes. With the rapid change of the economy, ushering your son into a career may not be the best idea since AI is disrupting so industries. Consider providing him with the exposure to help him discover his purpose.

Ep 4: Honesty Shapes Your Sons Future

In this episode, I took a journey to Fort Greene Brooklyn, to be joined by William Murray, husband and father. Will shared that honesty and accountability are the pillars that keep his relationship with his mother thriving, flourishing, and open. Prior to losing his dad in 1992, Will was a daddy’s boy and didn’t have a relationship with his mother. After the unexpected loss, his mom, Ms. Olive, established honesty as the pathway for the two of them to be accountable to one other and get out of their funk. Will shares how he and his mom moved past the loss of his dad, a blended family, and how critique has sculpted his character and values. Will discusses how he obtained the masculine skills that his mom didn’t have to offer.
