What if the thing that drives you crazy about your son is actually one of his greatest God-given strengths?
You know the moment. You’re at the dinner table, and everything’s peaceful — until the silverware starts rattling. One boy’s knee is bouncing. Another is spinning his fork. He’s not trying to be disruptive. He just can’t seem to sit still.
And before you know it, someone says it: “Why can’t you just calm down?” “Why can’t you sit still like your sister?”
“Like your sister.”
Here’s the thing: your son is not like his sister. God made him different. Unfortunately, we’ve spent decades trying to teach boys in a way that works better for their sisters, and the consequences are far-reaching.
But what if we tried something new? What if we paused and considered what it might look like to teach boys in a way that takes into account God’s beautiful and clever design?
