"Knock Before Entering": 29 Men Give Moms Advice On Raising A Boy Let your kid have space. Especially the older they get. Don’t be afraid to text instead of walking in their room or even knocking.

Educate them on alcohol, drugs, sex, cars (safety/ speeding), violence, etc. make sure they know and understand the consequences. How it affects life. What going to jail means (especially after they’d get out). Your kid will drink and do drugs. The best you can do is prep him.

Make condoms available. Don’t try and fool yourself that your son will not have sex before you think he will. Don’t go counting the condoms. Ever. Just put some in a drawer that he readily has access to. His bathroom drawer is generally a good spot but, hey, the kitchen junk drawer works too.

Have male figures around. Your BF (if applicable) does not count. Male friends, family, etc. they don’t need to be the kids father but different male role models (grandfather, uncle, best friends dad, a friend of yours, etc). You don’t need to go and get a husband just for your son. Positive male role models in his life are just the same.

This is more single parent to child:

Be as patient as you can with him. You are both going through hell and back for different reasons in different ways. He’s a kid though and literally doesn’t know and doesn’t even know what to know.

Be open to whoever they bring home as dates. You won’t be able to plan for it.

Tell them you love them, you care about them, you want the best for them. Ask, “How was school?” Every day they have school even if they or you are pissed or whatever. Make sure your kid knows that you are trying and want to do the best for them. That you need to hear from them, also, even if its just an honest, “can I tell you later” reply.

Above all, good luck. I feel lucky with my mother and how she brought me up. Even as bat-Sh7T crazy as she is.

"Knock Before Entering": 29 Men Give Moms Advice On Raising A Boy If you don't like the men you've met, raise your son to be a better man. Don't just constantly berate males in general to your son and expect him to just be better.

Being a single parent is tough, but never give your son (or daughter) the "you think you have problems, you're just a kid. You don't even know what problems are." speech.

Every boy should also have an understanding of the female body because it helps them empathize with their female friends and family.

Always consider your children first, way way in front of your feelings and/or drives. Be careful of who and what this new man in your life is. Take the time to 100% check him out and get to know him before gently and gradually introducing him to your kids. Be sure your kids are prepared for you to potentially marry again, and that doing so is not a slap in your father’s face or her disrespecting his memory at all. Your father and mother may genuinely have told each other that, if anything happened and one of them died, and especially if they died young, they would want their surviving spouse to live the rest of their life. To fall in love again, to remarry, to have children with their new spouse. It’s a thing most normal married couples tell each other, because you don’t know what life-changing event may happen tomorrow. Just be honest with your kids, at an age-appropriate level. Kids can adapt really well, if they’re given to right tools to do so.

"Knock Before Entering": 29 Men Give Moms Advice On Raising A Boy Males and females don't necessarily process things the same way in several key areas. This starts being observable in adolescence in subtle ways, but is *especially* true once puberty hits. Testosterone is one hell of a game changer; we are *still* learning about new and weird ways it affects mental, sexual, and, of course, physical development. Testosterone has very significant effects on how many emotions are processed and how males approach various things and giving the young man the impression he should be able to mimic a woman's methods can cause problems when he is incapable of doing so, which is compounded by testosterone's tendency to magnify anger from frustration.

Just one example: it seems to have a significant impact on the ability to cry. It is a pretty common thing for FtM transexuals on testosterone treatments to notice they simply can't cry like they used to (and MtF on inhibitors notice they cry almost uncontrollably often). Shaming a teenage boy for getting angry when frustrated and not crying as a release (which I've seen quite a few single mothers do, if not necessarily intentionally) can do a lot of harm because he may pretty close to literally be unable to and he needs other ways to process the emotions.

Tons of observed differences in how sexual urges work between the sexes, too. Interesting book by a lady who, back in the 90s (might've been 80s), pretended to be a guy for like 2 years. I've only watched the news segments on it and listened to summaries of the chapters, but quite a fair bit was regarding her observations of just how different men's sexual minds were from her own (even as a lesbian, iirc).

Sexual urges are quite different between men and women due to neurological processes - A man is basically ready to go by getting an erection and reaching an orgasm is easy by physical stimulation. Women can get physically aroused without the sexual drive kicking in and require mental stimuli as well for satisfaction. Of course that is a general explaination and can vary for each individual, but that is the current state of science for that topic

"Knock Before Entering": 29 Men Give Moms Advice On Raising A Boy Something I haven’t seen is remember boys and girls are fundamentally different. You grew up as a girl and think like a girl, and as such have different experiences and different ways of thinking. Do you have a brother, close male friend, father, etc. that you can get advice from? That can help you understand your son’s thought process a bit better.

Male friends are not like female friends, and for better or worse boys are treated differently than girls by their peers, adults, and society as a whole. I know being a woman can suck a lot, but don’t forget there are times it sucks to be a dude too. His problems can sometimes seem trivial but remember you’re his best and possibly only outlet for when the world feels cold and harsh. You can teach him gender equality later, be someone he can rely on first.

So actually NOT thinking about them as fudamentally different is a plus. But being aware that there is a storng perception of difference that leads to different socialisation (as OP points out) is important once they start school. Be aware, yes. Buy into it? No. Raise your boys to be people first and boys second

Sometimes it's the best option for everyone involved. My parents are raising my nephew as his parents are drug addicts/alcoholics who spend their life in and out of prison. My nephew is an autistic savant and is extremely intelligent but has no sense of danger. He spent the first few years of his life in what was essentially a crack den and was basically a feral child who had to fend for himself until social services stepped in and removed him. (Our entire family had gone no contact a few yrs before he was born and had no idea he even existed at this point) He is doing amazing now after 2 1/2yrs with my parents, myself and my sisters all helping to raise him, he's surrounded by cousins, friends and a huge extended family who adore him. He has a better life now than his parents could ever have given him, he doesn't quite understand why he's not with his mum and dad yet (he's only 5) but understands that they couldn't keep him safe so he lives with people who can.

Haven't seen it on the list, unless it is implied in the points about privacy, but - don't impose your religious or esoteric beliefs, even if you consider them right. Children should not be talking about sins or going to hell, or a God who would punish them if they jerk off. Also, they WILL jerk off as soon as they discover that it may bring pleasure, and if you try and shame them out of it, they will still do it, but will just be more distressed about it. Same for the girls, too.

Don't make sexual differences into gender stereotypes, and don't hype gender stereotypes as sexual differences. Yes boys and girls are different. Yes, gender exists and feelings of being in the wrong body is real. But your two year old girl isn't not a girl because she likes hoodies and doesn't want pigtails. A girl isn't a girl because she does girly things, a boy isn't a boy because he behaves masculine. Let them explore their interests and passions without trying to fit them into gender roles or gender stereotypes. Don't put words into their mouths they don't understand and stop this 'a real lady doesn't ' nonsense right away. There's no right way how to boy and there's no false way how to girl and vice versa. I'm all for accepting gender variations and transexuality if it naturally occurs, but I despise people who try to push toddlers into LGBTQ+ roles just because they're not fitting into outdated prejudices, molds of toxic masculinity or the girly girl scheme. Accept your child.
