Putting the “Boy” Back Into Boyhood

Last updated on: May 23, 2014 at 9:50 am By Tim Wright

When I was a boy back in the 1960’s, the girl next door “had” to go to nursery school. While we were out running around, playing, and having a good time, we occasionally wondered what was wrong with her. It had to be pretty bad for her to have to go to school before kindergarten! We felt sorry for her! Today, so many kids go to pre-school that if you don’t, your friends wonder what’s wrong with you. Part of... Read more

Finally: Unmasking the Ultimate Culprit Behind the Boy Crisis

Last updated on: March 7, 2014 at 7:38 am By Tim Wright

I had a fascinating “discussion” with a Facebook friend a few weeks ago. He has been a supporter of my work on boys and is passionate about the issue as well. But he took me to task, saying I had “lost it,” I’d “lost focus,” I’d “contaminated my ministry to boys,” all because I also, from time to time, address the issues and challenges that our girls are facing in the 21st Century. Bottom line, I had sold my soul... Read more

Use Your !@%&* Words?

Last updated on: February 20, 2014 at 3:39 pm By Tim Wright

When I was in 7th grade, my friend Gary and I were walking along a busy street in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Gary had a squirt gun, which he hid under his arm as he squirted cars passing by. (Sounds like boy behavior, doesn’t it?) The cars were going so fast and the gun was so cheap that maybe a couple of drops landed on an occasional car. Unfortunately, a couple of drops landed on a sports car driven by... Read more

The Bieb’s Prefrontal Cortex

Last updated on: January 27, 2014 at 3:33 pm By Tim Wright

I don’t know Justin Bieber personally. I’m not even sure I would know any of his songs. But as a man interested in how boys become men, I’ve been watch him as he tries to grow up in front of the world. And it’s not been a pretty sight so far. There are no doubt many reasons for his very public meltdowns. As other pop stars have demonstrated, it’s really tough growing up into a responsible, well-adjusted adult when at... Read more
