Description

It’s no secret that men in America are struggling, leading statistics in everything from suicide to loneliness to obesity. But what if the problems men face start well before they turn 18? In this powerful episode of The Aggressive Life, pediatrician and parenting expert Dr. Meg Meeker joins Brian to talk about how modern parenting is failing boys and what we can do to raise strong, resilient young men. Drawing from decades as a pediatrician and her bestselling books on parenting, Dr. Meeker explains why boys need unstructured time outdoors, roughhousing, and even stick-gun battles to grow into confident, healthy men. Whether you’re raising sons, mentoring boys, or simply care about the future of men in our culture, Dr. Meeker’s practical wisdom will challenge and inspire you.
