Boys Will Be Men: Raising Sons Beyond “Boys Will Be Boys”

“Boys will be boys.” But what kind of men are they becoming?

In this episode of The Heritage Household Podcast, Marissa Rice explores how to raise boys into responsible, courageous, and considerate men without discouraging the adventure, wrestling, competition, and energy that make boyhood such a delight.

We’ll talk about why masculinity does not require crudeness, how to address potty language and poorly timed humor, and practical ways to teach self-control, tact, and awareness of others. From knowing when to stop wrestling to noticing someone who needs assistance, everyday moments give us opportunities to teach our sons that strength comes with responsibility.

Through Scripture and practical Christian parenting examples, this episode encourages parents to enjoy their sons today while intentionally preparing them for the men they will become.

I’ll also share about my book, The Teachable Heart, and the importance of receiving instruction with humility, both for our children and for us as parents.
