Toxic masculinity and tough guy-ism are on display daily from our leaders, and we see anger, dysfunction, violence, and depression in young men who are suffocated by harmful social codes. Our young sons are told to stop throwing like a girl. They hear phrases like \"man up\" when they cry. They are told \"boys will be boys\" when they behave badly. The \"Girl Power\" movement has encouraged women to be whoever and do whatever they want, but that sentiment is not often extended to boys. Just watch the bullying when boys try ballet, paint their fingernails, or play with a doll. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But we can treat this problem--and the power lies in the hands of parents. It's not only possible to raise boys who aren't emotionally stifled and shoved into stereotypical gender boxes; it's vital if we want a generation of men who can express their emotions, respect women, and help nurse society back to a halfway healthy place. We can reframe manhood. From Aaron Gouveia, who gained viral fame after tweeting his support for his son's painted fingernails (and who knows toxic masculinity \u003ci\u003every \u003c\/i\u003ewell), learn practical and actionable tips such as: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't accept different standards for moms and dads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeach boys that \"girl\" is not an insult and retire phrases like \"boys will be boys\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShow boys that expressing their emotions and being physical is a good thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet boys pursue nontraditional interests and hobbies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalk to boys about consent and privilege\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel healthy and respectful relationships for boys to emulate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Penned with equal parts humor, biting snark, and lived advice, \u003ci\u003eRaising Boys to Be Good Men\u003c\/i\u003e is the essential parenting guide for raising sons to realize their potential outside the box. ​\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAaron Gouveia\u003c\/b\u003e is a former award-winning journalist who has appeared in \u003ci\u003eTIME\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eTODAY Show\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGood Morning America\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Mashable\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e USA Today \u003c\/i\u003eto discuss topics on parenting young boys in the age of toxic masculinity.
