  • 123. DR BILLY GARVEY: Raising Boys, Masculinity, and Ending the Cycle of Violence

    01:26:55||Season 8, Ep. 123
    From the manosphere, to mental health, to sexual assault and family violence - it is more apparent than ever that we must reckon with how boys are being raised, and the damaging behaviours that are normalised. But how do we raise boys into emotionally healthy men? Abbie sits down with developmental paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey to discuss his new book Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Raising Boys. They talk about why rigid masculinity is so dangerous, how parents can create safe spaces for their boys, why aggression in boys is a signal not a problem, and so much more. This is an essential conversation for parents, caregivers, and anyone with young boys in their life.LINKSBuy Billy's book Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Raising Boys: https://www.penguin.com.au/books/ten-things-i-wish-you-knew-about-raising-boys-9781761620850Follow Billy on IG @drbillygarveyListen to Billy's podcast Pop Culture Parenting: https://linktr.ee/popcultureparentingLearn more about Billy's work at Guiding Growing Minds https://linktr.ee/guidinggrowingminds Send us your thoughts, topic suggestions, NMFs and more: https://forms.gle/S5Pf327SmVnnC8CE9Check out @itsalotpod on IG at https://bit.ly/itsalot-instagram.Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts https://bit.ly/ial-reviewCREDITSHost: Abbie Chatfield @abbiechatfieldGuests: Dr Billy Garvey @drbillygarveyExecutive Producer and Editor: Amy Kimball @amy.kimballIt's A Lot Social Media Manager: Julia ToomeySocial Media and Marketing Strategist: Elizabeth Baxter
