In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I interview Ruth Whippman about her book BoyMom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity. We discuss the humanity lacking in traditional models of masculinity and the type of sensitive and connection-based parenting that is desperately needed for boys. We talk about: 4:00 Systems of power and oppression 4:35 How the same systems that harm women and girls, also harm men and boys 6:00 How we see boys as mad, not sad 7:13 Neuroscience research on the sensitivity of boys’ brains 12:45 Why stats on boys’ mental health struggles are not accurate 13:55 Why adolescent boys are in a mental health crisis 28:34 How screens are displacing socializing in person for boys 36:00 Incel (involuntarily celibate) movement 43:00 Buddy vs. Sweetheart Download the episode transcript HERE  Resources mentioned in this episode: BoyMom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity by Ruth Whippman https://amzn.to/4c6W60C  Connect with Sarah Rosensweet   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahrosensweet/  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/peacefulparentingfreegroup Website: https://reimaginepeacefulparenting.com Join us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/peacefulparenting  Newsletter: https://reimaginepeacefulparenting.com/newsletter  Book a short consult or coaching session call: https://book-with-sarah-rosensweet.as.me/schedule.php
