Increasing your knowledge of how your son thinks can help you uncover the things he is trying to express, gain awareness of what this new generation of young men is experiencing, and unlock any hidden pain he may be carrying. By doing so, you can build a better relationship with your son, ultimately becoming a better parent. This approach will also help you stop second-guessing your parenting skills and trying to figure out your son, as you will have a deeper understanding of his needs and perspectives.
