How to Raise Boys With Purpose Who Grow into Good Men

Are you just getting through the day… or intentionally raising a good man?

In this episode of the Mothers of Boys Survival Guide podcast, I talk with Nathaniel Turner, author of Raising Supaman, about how to raise boys with purpose—without adding pressure or perfection to your already full plate.

Nate shares the intentional framework he and his wife used to raise their son as a “Man in Training,” including three powerful pillars that can guide everyday parenting decisions. We also talk about one simple but impactful practice—writing letters to your child—and how it can shape connection, confidence, and long-term growth.

For moms, this conversation offers a perspective shift on our role in raising future men—and why creating space for fathers and male role models matters more than we think.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to shift from reactive to intentional parenting
• The “Man in Training” mindset
• A simple 3-part framework for raising boys
• Why writing to your child can shape their future
• Encouraging stronger father-son relationships
• Avoiding the trap of raising a “man child”
