Moms of boys, what do you want your son to know about love?
–
I was talking with my teen son about love and thought about how we take for granted that our children know and understand the meaning of love. I think we expect children to know and understand the meaning of love.
We’re asking both dads and moms of boys to share what they want their sons to know about love.
What do you want your son to understand and know about love before he becomes a man?
How can your child grow up to be more conscious and mindful about love?
How do you let your children know you love them?
What words do you use and say to reinforce love?
Is there ever a time when love is difficult?
