On this episode of the Raising Sons podcast, host Dr. Richelle delves into strategies for building self-efficacy in sons. Dr. Shell emphasizes the importance of identifying and nurturing a child&#39;s natural inclinations, whether it be in academics, building, music, or any other area, and then using those strengths as a foundation to tackle and overcome challenges in less favored areas.

On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Chelle discusses mental health and our boys. It&#39;s essential for us to recognize that mental health knows no gender boundaries. Boys, just like girls, can experience a wide range of emotions and challenges, from academic stress to societal expectations, peer pressure, and beyond. Yet, the stigma surrounding mental health issues can prevent many boys from opening up about their struggles, leading to potential long-term consequences.Educational institutions, families, and communities play a pivotal role in shaping the mental health landscape for our boys. Providing access to mental health resources, fostering open conversations about emotions, and promoting a supportive atmosphere can make a significant impact.For additional resources, get the guide <a href="https://generous-mouse-868.myflodesk.com/raisingsonspodcastsignup" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Join us for a Live Q&amp;A of the podcast on January 24 @12 noon CST, Register <a href="https://bit.ly/raisingsonspodcastlive" rel="nofollow">here</a>.If you&#39;re having challenges with your son&#39;s development or behavior and need help, schedule a consultation, <a href="https://calendly.com/pccs/parent-advising" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Send us an email or text to let us know what questions you have.
