Raising boys is a journey filled with unexpected twists, boundless energy, and endless opportunities for growth and discovery. From navigating their emotional development to fostering their unique talents, every day brings new discoveries. If you’re a parent or educator walking this path, you know firsthand how valuable it is to connect with others who share similar experiences.
Jennifer L. W. Fink, a member of the TBI board of advisors, mother of four boys, and the author of Building Boys: Raising Great Guys in a World That Misunderstands Males, is introducing the Building Boys Book Club. The kick-off is April 25th at 8pm ET. She created a virtual space where people can come together to explore the intricacies of raising boys in today’s world. Fink says It’s not just a reading group; it’s a community-driven exploration of the unique challenges and joys of raising boys.
Each month, Fink will lead a group who gather virtually to dissect a chapter of the book, delving into topics like emotional intelligence, healthy relationships, and nurturing talents. Fink states the monthly discussions are not only enlightening but will also be deeply supportive, as participants share experiences and seek solutions together.
A distinguishing feature of the Building Boys Book Club lies in its flexibility. There’s no pressure for participants to commit to every session—they can join as their schedule allows, diving into topics that resonate most deeply with them. Each session will be recorded so those unable to attend live can stay engaged and informed.
Fink extends an invitation to join the book club to those who are either seasoned #boymoms or just embarking on the journey of raising and interacting with boys. If you’re eager to explore the intricacies of nurturing exceptional young men and crave connection with fellow journeyers, this club is for you.
