How To Stop Yelling At Your Kids
Hi. I just listened to the interview with Ruth Whippman about traditional masculinity. I have read Steve Biddulph’s Raising Boys which beautifully describes masculinity in its traditional meaning throughout the ages. I would highly recommend it. There are updated versions too and also there is a book Raising Girls which I also read.
