I’m currently pregnant with a son and will likely be raising him mostly alone starting from birth. I want to be intentional about how I raise him and would really value advice from men who experienced this firsthand. I want my son to grow up emotionally intelligent, disciplined, active, confident, respectful, and able to communicate well. I want him to be a leader instead of someone who blindly follows others. I’m especially looking for advice about: • screen time and technology • toddler years and early childhood • building discipline without being overly harsh • helping boys express emotions in a healthy way • sports, structure, routines, and responsibility • avoiding bad influences and poor male role models • teenage years and becoming a young man • things single moms sometimes get wrong when raising sons • things your mother did that positively shaped you I don’t have many strong male role models around him right now, so I’m trying to think ahead and build the best environment possible from the beginning.
