Raising Up Boys to Men

“When we role-model with authenticity, the children pick it up.” - EricMany men today wrestle with their masculine identity, torn between projecting strength and suppressing vulnerability.In this episode, Aaron speaks with educator and father of four, Eric Loh, who offers heartfelt reflections on raising boys in a rapidly changing world. From the rise in emotional struggles among teens to the pressures of social media and shifting ideas of success, Eric underscores the crucial role parents play in nurturing resilient, grounded young men. He highlights the power of modelling as a father—demonstrating faithfulness, responsibility and a teachable posture—traits shaped not through instruction but through the consistency of daily life.Eric also shares candidly about strengthening parent–child relationships through connection: with values, authority and community. He reminds us that discipline, when paired with love and presence, becomes a pathway for growth rather than fear. As boys navigate vulnerability and independence, parents must work together, not against each other.Based on what he sees in you today, what kind of man is your son becoming?--Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.
