This is one of my favorite conversations that I've EVER had!!!! The amazing David Thomas, author of Raising Emotionally Strong Boys (and so many other books) is here!!

In this episode we explore the critical role of experiential learning for children, especially boys, as they navigate the journey towards emotional strength and resilience. Learn why it's essential to move beyond lazy responses and prioritize building emotional intelligence as a learned skill.

From the impact of screens and substances to the power of movement-based experiences, Ginny and David discuss practical strategies for fostering healthy habits and outdoor adventures. Learn how journaling and nature can serve as antidotes to the numbing effects of modern life, guiding children towards self-regulation and authentic expression.

With a focus on modeling friendship and embracing risk and adventure, this conversation offers a roadmap for parents and caregivers committed to nurturing the next generation of emotionally strong, adventurous young men. Tune in to discover how you can play a vital role in rescuing childhood for families everywhere.
