Today, in this week's Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, Larry Hagner draws from his decade of podcasting experience and 18 years of raising sons to address the critical challenges of raising boys in today's world. He emphasizes how fathers can shape their sons' future relationships by modeling respectful behavior toward women, particularly through their own marriages, while balancing essential life skills from education and financial literacy to physical fitness and emotional intelligence.
The discussion delves into the delicate balance of fostering resilience in boys by allowing them to take risks and embrace failure, while also teaching them to be both kind and capable of self-defense. Larry Hagner shares practical insights on guiding boys toward meaningful achievements, from completing challenging tasks to developing spiritual leadership, all while navigating the distractions of modern technology and maintaining focus on what truly matters in their development.
