    Which ON BOYS episodes were the Best of 2024? Photo by ALINA MATVEYCHEVA via PexelsYour favorites include:5. Needed: Boy-Friendly SchoolsTyler, a 16-year-old Texas boy, started struggling in middle school. Recess was no more. Classes were 90 minutes long. So, “he found it really hard to sit still in class,” says Julie Jargon, the Wall Street Journal Family & Tech columnist who interviewed Tyler for her series on boys and education. Now a high school student, Tyler suggests that “instead of making guys change the way they behave, maybe schools should change the way they’re structured.”4. Middle School: Misunderstood or Magic?“This is a very pervasive story, that middle school is terrible. But it doesn’t have to be. We make it terrible by working directly against the developmental needs of middle schoolers and designing these buildings and classes in way that make their lives really hard,” says veteran educator Chris Balme, author of Finding the Magic in Middle School: Tapping into the Power and Potential of the Middle School Years.3. Modern Male Puberty is AwkwardYour son may well be annoying, thoughtless, disrespectful, disorganized, smelly, and messy during puberty. None of that means he’ll end up that way as an adult. And none of it means that you’re doing (or have done) something wrong.“The path to building kind, empathic, loving, thoughtful men is a very windy, bumpy road,” Vanessa says. “And at every step of the way, it can be really tempting to lose faith.”2. How to Raise a Healthy Gamer“Right now, there is an antagonistic relationship between most parents & their kids around video gaming,” Dr. K says. “You think they need to cut back; they don’t think they have a problem. Then, as parents start to institute limits, children will try to undermine them. Even if you ‘win’ in this scenario, you lose.”It’s more helpful, he says, to establish a collaborative relationship.1. Set Boys Up for School Success“It’s really essential that we, as parents & educators of boys, are preparing them to navigate the struggles within school,” says Dr. Todd (Jason) Feltman, author of Transforming into a Powerful Third, Fourth, or 5th Grade Navigator of School Success. “It’s not just the academic struggles but also the socialization, the physical and emotional struggles.”A few of our other 2024 favorites:Color Blindness in BoysCircumcision: Facts & MythsFBI: Sextortion Targets BoysNavigating Youth Mental Health in the Digital AgeEmily Edlynn on A Healthier Approach to TechDr. Niobe Way on Reimaging BoysUplifting Black Boys Benefits All Students Sponsor Spotlight: IXLThe world’s most popular subscription-based learning site for K–12!

  • Listen to Boys & Young Men
    2024/12/12

    How often do we really listen to boys & young men?

    Not nearly often enough! There’s been a lot of chatter lately about boys & young men, masculinity, and the growing gender gap in politics – and very little public input from boys & young men themselves. In this episode, Jen & Janet talk with Lance Walker, a 26 yr old man from Utah. Like so many males his age, Lance has learned that boys’ and men’s perspectives aren’t always welcome. As he says, “We are never given license to speak.”

    We encourage you to listen as he describes his experiences in school (including being started on ADHD medication in 3rd grade) and in the world.

    Takeaways:
    • Boys’ perspectives on masculinity are often overlooked.
    • There is a stigma associated with boys expressing their feelings.
    • Open dialogue about gender dynamics is essential.
    • Boys need to be included in conversations about their experiences.
    • Understanding the role of community in boys’ development is important.
    • Boys often feel shame in expressing their struggles.
    • The future of gender discussions requires sensitivity and awareness. The emotional journey of becoming a man is complex and often fraught with societal expectations.
    • Shame and responsibility are significant themes in discussions about masculinity.
    • Perceptions of men as threats can lead to feelings of fear and vulnerability.
    • Boys are often seen as needing to fit into a rigid educational model that may not suit them.
    • Cultural perspectives on masculinity can shape how boys view themselves and their roles in society.
    • Dialogue and understanding are crucial in addressing the challenges faced by boys and young men.
    • The importance of recognizing boys as human beings with their own experiences and emotions.
    • Educational systems may need to adapt to better engage boys in learning.
    • There is a need for more voices from young men in discussions about masculinity and societal expectations.
    • The conversation around masculinity must include diverse perspectives to foster understanding and growth.
