DR BILLY GARVEY: Raising Boys, Masculinity, and Ending the Cycle of Violence

From the manosphere, to mental health, to sexual assault and family violence - it is more apparent than ever that we must reckon with how boys are being raised, and the damaging behaviours that are normalised. But how do we raise boys into emotionally healthy men? Abbie sits down with developmental paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey to discuss his new book Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Raising Boys. They talk about why rigid masculinity is so dangerous, how parents can create safe spaces for their boys, why aggression in boys is a signal not a problem, and so much more. This is an essential conversation for parents, caregivers, and anyone with young boys in their life.
