Summary
Boys… whatcha gonna do with them? Just kidding.
But they really are unique creatures and if you’re raising one or more, you know that finding ways to help them communicate and express their feelings in a healthy way can be challenging.
David Thomas is a Pardon the Mess favorite, and he’s with us today discussing the importance of raising emotionally strong boys. Don’t miss his insight into why our boys suffer from higher rates of suicide, addiction, and pornography abuse—oftentimes because they haven’t learned to deal with their emotions in a healthy way.
Here are a few highlights:
- Modeling healthy communication with our boys
- The three “R’s” of emotional health
- How anxiety and depression present in boys
- What healthy relationships look like for boys
- When pulling away is okay… and when it’s not
David’s new book, Raising Emotionally Strong Boys is a must-read. Check it out and all the other great resources offered through Daystar Counseling!

| 0:02.0 | This is Cynthia Yannoff and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.0 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. All right, before we kick today's show off, I want to tell you that |
| 0:34.4 | it is time to grab your prayer journal. I wrote it this year and it's |
| 0:38.0 | titled Key Psalms to pray over your kids and you go to cpgiv.org. It's linked in podcast notes, |
| 0:44.7 | but cpgiv.org to get a copy and we will start early September praying every week for our kids. |
| 0:51.1 | We'll do it on the Monday morning podcast. We will follow this. It is a great way to have something you can keep in your car on the bathroom counter next to your |
| 0:58.7 | bed. It just reminds you to pray a topic of your kids each week. You can make a few notes. |
| 1:03.7 | I'm not a journaler, but totally appreciate an opportunity to just write down a few things I'm |
| 1:07.6 | praying for my kids because later I can show them what I've been praying and how the Lord's answered it. And so we are going to pray each week, different |

| 1:24.7 | kick off in September. |

| 1:31.8 | And I'm so glad that my voice sounds normal again. |
| 1:34.6 | If you've been listening to the last couple weeks, you know that we've had COVID in our |
| 1:37.8 | house. |
| 1:38.1 | And so thankfully, we are much better. |
| 1:40.4 | I wanted to share a little bit of my COVID 2.0 story for you. |
