Who Teaches a Boy How to Be a Man? | The Quiet Table with Mr. Hood
Everybody tells a boy to “be a man”—but who’s actually teaching him? Because a deep voice, a little facial hair, and holding the remote hostage don’t automatically mean you got this manhood thing figured out. 😂
Pull up a chair as Mr. Hood brings humor, heart, and some uncomfortable questions to the table. How do boys learn to handle hurt, take accountability, respect others, and ask for help when so much of the advice stops at “quit crying” and “toughen up”?
We’re talking fathers, mothers, mentors, the village, and the grown men still learning lessons somebody should’ve taught them a long time ago. This conversation makes room for the boy who needed guidance—and the man still trying to find his way.
A few laughs. Some honest reflection. And a question worth sitting with: Are we preparing our boys to become men, or just expecting them to figure it out?
