PCP Collabs: Understanding Boys with The Man Cave Ep. 2

Description

"Yeah, but what do I actually say to my boys?" If Part One of this series reframed how we see the boys in our lives, Part Two is about what comes next: the words. In Part Two of this special three-part series, Pop Culture Parenting and The Man Cave move with you from understanding to language. Billy is sharing the clinical insight behind why certain approaches work alongside the most valuable insights from his in-clinic experience. From The Man Cave, Al Green, Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer, and Callum Goodes, Director of Content and Digital Engagement, bring what they've learnt from thousands of conversations with boys. We’re releasing the pressure you feel for every talk to have to "work", supporting you to see why small conversations matter more than big ones, and giving you what to say when a boy shuts down. Parents don't need perfect words. Boys remember repeated safety. If you haven't heard Part One yet, start there! The Man Cave is opening its doors to parents, with sessions that let you experience the work first-hand and take home tools to try with your boys.
