The answer to that fear, for me, has been raising boys who are permitted to feel, experience joy—without limits, so they do not learn to turn pain into harm. Have you carried this same fear? 🤍 This poem from asiakaikim new collection on motherhood, grief, and the state of the world put words & hope to the fear I feel as I raise my sons. Comment READ and I’ll send you a link to her book of poetry & other great reads that guide my parenting of boys. #raisingboys #intentionalparenting #motherhood #parenting
