AHA Humanist Village: PARENTING - Fostering Healthy Masculinity in Our Kids

The American Humanist Association presents a webinar this coming June 10 which may be of interest to many in the secular community in the Boston area:

"As parents, we all want our kids to grow into kind, confident, emotionally healthy adults. But traditional ideas of masculinity—like “boys don’t cry” or “real men don’t show weakness”—can get in the way. Let’s change that.

Join Dr. Jed Diamond, LCSW, and Humanist Dad Alastair Lichten for an engaging conversation on how we can raise boys to be emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and compassionate men. Whether you're parenting toddlers or teens, this is a chance to learn how to support healthy masculinity at every age—and help your child thrive."
