You Ain't The Man of Nothing | DSP Ep 54 w/ James Johnson #fatherhood #raisingmen #boys2men

Dear Son, you ain't the man of nothing! How often do young boys get thrusted into adulthood way before their time? There's an array of circumstances to blame, and many are plausible. Unfortunately, telling a boy he is a man, or worse, treating a boy as a man before his time can yield very damaging results. In this episode, we have a transparent conversation about the dangers of levying the weight of manhood on a young boy. Now there's no specific age guidelines, and there are exceptionally mature young boys in this world, but expecting one to be the man of the house too soon is dangerous. We explore the challenges that come with the responsibilities of manhood when a man (adult) wasn't properly prepared. Considering those challenges, we had to evaluate how the situations occur, who is responsible for the development of a man, and what are the reasonable expectations of women as it pertains to grooming responsible, accountable, and emotionally intelligent men. We highly recommend that you consume the entire episode for the best results. Also, meet us in the comments or tag us with your opinion on social media via the links below.

Talk to a trusted adult - Having a supportive and understanding adult to talk to can help children find the strength and courage to stand up to peer pressure. 2. Practice saying no - Role playing with a trusted adult can help children practice responding to peer pressure in a confident and assertive way. 3.
