Walking with my son

The document discusses the need to empower and support boys/the boy child. It notes that society is partly at fault for demotivating the boy child. Several quotes and passages argue against phrases that put boys down or promote female empowerment without also empowering males. The document advocates training boys to be independent and responsible men by helping them mature and take responsibility for their lives. It promotes a program called "A Walk With The Boy Child" to support boys ages 10-18.
