PHOTO-boy-in-blue-on-grassThe Boyhood Project supports parents in raising responsible, self-disciplined and resourceful sons. Our classes, personal assessments and coaching help parents design their vision of parenting, and provide them with the knowledge, tools and support to realize that vision.

Positive discipline and emotional intelligence are key to building character and teaching valuable life and social skills to children. By nourishing themselves through personal development, parents can more readily nurture those essential qualities in their sons.

We inspire parents to raise a generation of confident boys through parent/son partnerships that do not impose a limiting definition of boyhood but instead encourage sons to realize their unique potential and discover their life purpose as they embark on the road to manhood.

  • The only way to make a difference with a boy is to give him powerful experiences that speak to his inner life, that speak to his soul and let him know that he is entitled to have the full range of human experience....affirming for a boy that his vulnerability is human and acceptable.
    Dan Kindlon & Michael Thompson, Raising Cain
  • We need to let boys be boys, to recognize the value of boyhood, and to understand how parents can help guide their young sons—yes, the ones with frogs in their pockets, dirt in their hair, and a guilty past of breaking windows with baseballs—into mature, confident, and thoughtful men.
    Meg Meeker, Boys Should Be Boys
  • I believe that most of us are at a disadvantage when we talk about boys, because our view of boys is so influenced and distorted by society's myths about them. Over the years, a thousand models of boyhood have accumulated and become melded into an all-purpose stereotype.
    William Pollack, Real Boys
  • A boy needs a structure and discipline in which to learn who he is. He needs to live a journey that has clear responsibilities and goals. He needs a role in life. Without these, he does not know his sacred and important objectives in life. He only suspects he has some.
    Michael Gurian, The Wonder of Boys
