What you can do:
1. Consciously reject the anti-masculine mindset. As he gets older, teach your son to do the same.
2. Let your son hear you repeatedly affirm the wonderful
way boys are made.
3. Help your son develop a healthy
gender identity.
4. Stay close to your boy emotionally and as a vigilant guide.
5. Spend both quantity and quality time
with your boy even if it means changing your lifestyle to make that time available.
6. Before your son reaches puberty, start teaching him to treat
girls and women with respect. Establish a clear set of guidelines long before he starts dating. Model respect in your own marriage.
