## Resource

If watching "Adolescence" on Netflix left you feeling worried about your son, this episode will help you turn your concerns into action. Dr. Lisa Damour breaks down what the show gets exactly right about adolescent boys: why they're emotionally constrained by culture, how that vulnerability gets exploited by toxic online figures like Andrew Tate, and what parents can do right now to connect with their sons. This is our most-watched episode ever on YouTube — and we think you'll understand why. 💡 YOU'LL LEARN: - Why boys are often only "allowed" to express anger and pleasure at others’ expense - How feelings of inferiority in middle school can make boys uniquely vulnerable to toxic influencers who offer them a shortcut to feeling powerful - Why modeling emotional honesty is one of the most protective things a father can do — and why moms alone can't close this gap - How toxic and misogynistic content finds boys through algorithms, even when kids aren't looking for it — and the concrete steps parents can take to intervene - How to watch "Adolescence" with your teen and use it to start a real conversation built on curiosity and care, not fear and anxiety With Father's Day around the corner, there's no better time to revisit this episode. ________________ GET DR.
