Episode 289: David Thomas
I am so happy to welcome my friend, David Thomas, back to the show. He’s been a regular guest on the show and we co-hosted the first two seasons of the Raising Boys and Girls podcast along with Sissy Goff. David is the director of family counseling at Daystar Counseling Ministries in Nashville, TN and is the author of 10 books.
Today, we are talking about his latest book, Raising Emotionally Strong Boys and the workbook titled Strong and Smart. He brings his 25 years of practice to teh table. We start by talking about what it looks like to be emotionally strong—redefining what masculine strength is. Then, we talk about what to do when you as the mom are clued in to help but what to do if the father isn’t interested. We talk about what do do when all emotions are channeled as anger and lastly we talk about how summer is a great time to wrok on these things. Per usual, David brings a wealth of help to us.
