So many moms tell me the same thing. He is smart. He is capable. But when it comes to school, he just doesn’t seem to care. Homework turns into arguments. Missing assignments show up in the grade portal. And somehow you feel like you care more about his grades than he does. In this episode of Raising Boys, Building Men, we are talking about why so many boys disengage from school and what moms can do differently. Across the country, boys are falling behind academically. But the solution is not more pressure, more lectures, or more reminders. Instead, I am sharing three powerful shifts that help boys take more ownership of their schoolwork while protecting your relationship. You will learn: • Why boys shut down when they feel behind• How moms accidentally start carrying the school load• Three simple shifts that help boys step up and take responsibility If this struggle is happening in your home, I want to invite you to my upcoming workshop on March 17: Get Your Teenage Son to Try in School Without Nagging, Arguing, or Carrying the Load.
