Teaching my boys how to be men in 2024

Raised in the South with good values about respecting women, keeping your word, working hard, and being a man of honor. Trying to pass that on to my kids but sometimes it feels like the world is working against those principles. How do you teach them to be strong and principled without coming off outdated? My oldest is asking tough questions about all of it.

That's solid stuff. I'm doing the same with mine up here in Minnesota. Teaching them respect starts at home, and honestly half the battle is just showing up and being consistent about it.

Respect and hard work never go out of style. I try to show my boy that through actions more than lectures - whether it's in the workshop or just how I treat people day to day.

Man, this hits home. Between the sideline yelling on Saturdays and everything else, making sure they understand honor and keeping your word feels like the most important work I do.
