In this episode, Shaun sits down with Jennifer L.W. Fink—writer, nurse, mother of four boys, and author of Building Boys. Jennifer brings decades of lived experience and research to help us understand what boys really need: space, presence, and parents who see them as they truly are. Together, they explore why boys are often misunderstood, how parents can respond with calm instead of fear, and what it means to raise great guys in a world full of mixed messages.

Topics Covered

Why boys are often misunderstood – From poop drawings to impulse-control moments, adults misinterpret normal development as misbehavior.
Parenting through fear – How cultural narratives (MeToo era) cause parents to overreact to boy behavior.
How to respond with connection – Curiosity over punishment; presence over panic.

How parents can model calm leadership – High standards + connection = growth.
