“When we strengthen our boys and men, we stabilize our girls and women”
Raising John’s Boy is a raw, honest approach to how the author raised her son. The hope is that you take away practical tools to alleviate any concerns of successfully raising your boy into a good man, while aiming to change the stereotype that places limits on both of you.
A woman can only do but so much as she hears the silence of the loud, dismissive cries from a young man raised without his father. Can you imagine how much easier it would be on the mother and the son if we STOP SAYING that “Women cannot raise boys into productive men” or “Only a Man can raise a Man”? What message are we sending young men who are growing up in a single parent household when they hear that?
It sounds like our mothers and boys are trying to fight a losing battle. This could be the very negative seed planted that is telling them both that they are not enough (and they will never be enough), which contributes to low self-esteem and an inability to perform at their greatest potential.
Raising John’s Boy confronts these issues— and more—in this personal, essential book, and seeks to unite all women and mothers, regardless of ethnic background.
THE PURPOSE OF RAISING JOHN’S BOY
• To empower women who are raising their sons solo to know that you do not have to become a man or be with a man to legitimize your self-worth or abilities to raise your son to be a successful contributor to society. You can raise your son to be fully functioning and help him grow into a powerful, productive, and peaceful father and/or husband.
• To educate women not to raise their sons with animosity, bitterness, or anger, but learn to be in control and raise him with the mindset of letting go of old suppressed memories and old stress and gladly raise him to represent you and prepare him to be an adult man with ambition.
• To engage men to initiate a healthy and balanced dialogue with other men on the power of “staying,” “being honest with themselves,” and holding one another accountable for their standards of conduct and quality of expectations, with or without being in the child’s home, while promoting the success of establishing a brotherhood village, honoring marital unions, and finding the keys to developing civility with non-married partners.
