I recently
spent time at a national conference where I had an opportunity to meet Dr.
Michael Gurian. I was very impressed
with his approach to what I call, “gender clarity.” In today’s culture of
gender confusion it is refreshing to consider God’s plan and design for each
person.
In this 3 minute video, Dr.
Gurian discusses the adolescent boy and how he is developing. Parents of
pre-teen boys really need to hear this! So much is happening and your
relationship is changing, like it or not. This is a pivotal time when a boy
begins his journey into manhood. Understanding your child and what they need
will play a huge role in your success as a parent and his as a young
man.
Interesting side note: The
word teenager first became popular in the 1920’s. The Bible only speaks of
children and men and women. In 1 Corinthians
13:11 we read, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put
away childish things”.
In
the following video Dr. Gurian talks about Communicating with Boys 11-15
Years Old.
