#871: Just Fine

Your son needs a place to be a boy. In 2018, the Boy Scouts of America announced that they would allow girls to join. One scoutmaster was asked, “How do you like having girls a part of your troop?” The scoutmaster answered, “We love having girls because they are so much better behaved than boys!” That answer broke my heart. Society already deems boyhood and masculinity as something negative– and now an organization that was supposed to champion boys was also insinuating that boys should act more like girls. Make sure your son knows that who he really is– whether that’s wild, curious, crazy, or loud– is just fine. After all, God created him that way for a glorious purpose.
