Teaching my son to be a real man in today's world

My boy is 13 now and I want to make sure he grows up with good values. We go hunting together, he's learning to fish, and I'm teaching him how to work on cars. I also want him to understand that being a man means taking responsibility, treating people with respect especially women, and not being afraid to show emotion when it's appropriate. The world is different from when I grew up but the fundamentals of honor and integrity should still matter. Anyone else trying to pass this stuff down?

Hunting trips are the best. My oldest is still a bit young but I'm looking forward to that phase. How old was he when you started taking him?

Hunting together is awesome. My 13-year-old and I started fishing trips and I've seen him grow up differently out there. Real respect comes from doing stuff together, not lectures. You're doing it right.

The fact that you're intentional about this stuff is what matters. Values aren't something you teach with a speech, they come from seeing how you handle things. Keep doing what you're doing.
