About this Event
Today's parents are raising boys in a world filled with distractions, mixed messages, and increasing pressures. As more young men struggle with independence, confidence, resilience, and finding their path into adulthood, many parents are left wondering: How do we help without overhelping? When do we step in, and when do we step back?
Join us for an insightful panel discussion with the area's leading experts on exploring the growing phenomenon of "failure to launch" and what families can do to support healthy development. Together, we'll examine why so many young men are struggling, the importance of setting boundaries and saying "no," how to reward effort and character over convenience and achievement, and what it truly means to raise a healthy, capable young man in today's world.
Through expert perspectives and practical takeaways, this conversation will empower parents to navigate the noise, foster resilience, and help their sons build the skills, confidence, and independence needed to thrive.
Topics include:
- Why are so many young men struggling?
- The courage to say "no" as a parent
- Rewarding what actually matters
- Parenting in a noisy, distraction-filled world
- Redefining what "healthy" means for boys and young men
Whether your child is navigating adolescence or preparing for adulthood, this discussion will provide valuable insights for raising boys who are ready to launch with purpose, confidence, and resilience.
Doors will open at 6:30pm and will be a great chance to meet with the panelists and enjoy light refreshments. Discussion will begin promptly at 7:00pm
