Challenging Teenage Sons

In this episode, Dr. Mark Schillinger sits down with six Young Men's Ultimate Weekend (YMUW) graduates, ranging in age from high school to their early 30s, to talk honestly about who they were before the weekend, what was hard to face about themselves while they were there, and how their lives shifted after they graduated.  The YMUW grads discuss: What teen boys are actually afraid of when they think about growing up  Why the hardest part of YMUW isn't physical, it's emotional  How the program changed parent-son relationships, sometimes dramatically  What a real rite of passage does that therapy alone often can't  Why the obstacle course, the sweat lodge, and even the joke circles matter more than they sound. If you're a parent wondering whether your son is ready for adulthood, or worried he's not, this conversation will hit close to home.  If you're a young man sitting on the fence about YMUW, listen to the guys who were exactly where you are. ℹ️ Learn More about the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend, a Modern
