Here are some key lessons from the book:

1. Respect His Unique Masculinity: Meeker stresses the importance of understanding and respecting the distinct ways boys grow into men. Mothers are encouraged to appreciate their sons' masculinity and support their journey towards manhood, helping them feel confident in their identity.

2. Be His Emotional Sanctuary: Sons need a safe emotional space where they can express feelings and vulnerabilities. Meeker suggests that mothers should be a reliable and empathetic confidante for their sons, offering them a secure base where they can discuss their emotions without judgment.

3. Set High Expectations: Meeker advises mothers to set high, yet achievable, expectations for their sons. This involves encouraging them to strive for excellence, whether in academics, sports, or their personal lives. High expectations can motivate sons to reach their full potential.

4. Teach Accountability and Responsibility: It is crucial for mothers to teach their sons the importance of accountability and taking responsibility for their actions. This includes lessons on honesty, integrity, and the consequences of their choices.

5. Encourage Independence: While nurturing is important, Meeker emphasizes the need for mothers to gradually encourage independence in their sons. This helps them develop self-reliance and confidence in their ability to make decisions and solve problems on their own.

6. Maintain Open Communication: Keeping lines of communication open is essential. Mothers should make efforts to listen actively and speak honestly with their sons, fostering a relationship where open and respectful dialogue is the norm.

7. Role Modeling: Mothers play a critical role as a role model. Meeker highlights the importance of living the values you wish to instill in your son, as children often learn more from what they observe in their parents’ behavior than from what they are told.

8. Understand the Father's Role: Acknowledging and supporting the father's role in a son’s life is another key point. Fathers provide a model of adult manhood that sons can aspire to. In cases where a father is absent, finding positive male role models is beneficial.

9. Teach Emotional Resilience: Teaching sons how to handle adversity and emotional stress is essential. Meeker advises mothers to guide their sons in developing resilience and coping strategies that allow them to recover from setbacks.

10. Show Unconditional Love: Above all, Meeker emphasizes the importance of showing unconditional love. Knowing he is loved no matter what gives a son the security and confidence to grow and explore his world.

"Strong Mothers, Strong Sons" provides a guide for mothers to help nurture their sons into capable, confident men, emphasizing the irreplaceable influence a mother has in her son’s life.

Hoe leugens werkelijkheid worden.

Gebouwd op angst en na een ontmanteling van nieuwsgierigheid creëerde propaganda een valse perceptie die jaren zal duren voordat we deze ongedaan kunnen maken.

Dit is een verhaal over hoe jaren van slechte informatie, censuur en autoritaire besluitvorming een situatie hebben gecreëerd waarin grote delen van het publiek de realiteit niet kunnen delen en bij elke stap met elkaar in gevecht zijn.
Het is een weerspiegeling van wat er gebeurt als we vriendelijkheid, respect, verbinding en nieuwsgierigheid uit het oog verliezen. Dit verhaal kan als medicijn dienen bij het herstellen van alles wat gebroken is.
