What challenges do parents face raising boys in today's society?
Thank you to time for learning for sponsoring this portion of today's episode Schooling is one of the most important decisions you make for your children And i'm really excited about the option time for learning We are coming to that point where our kids are getting ready to enter pre-k and there's all these decisions to make and I Love that we're in this day and age where there are so many options, but i'm also very overwhelmed by it But i'm really excited about time for learning because they have everything you need to teach pre-k through 12th grade at home But with all the core and elective classes offered in a traditional brick and mortar school I love that option because you get the structure that you would like with a traditional school format, but with a personalized, intimate setting of homeschooling.
And that's because Time for Learning believes in harnessing the flexibility of homeschool to help families explore passions, travel, and hobbies without the constraints of traditional school hours. It can also be used for more than homeschooling. It is also used for school or summer learning to address learning gaps or maintain skills. It was created by experts for parents with over 1 million students served. Time for Learning is also super user-friendly. It can go on your computer or on your phone and they have really easy to read calendars for the day or the month. It also has a progress bar so you can see where your kids are at, what they've completed and what they still have yet to do. I think it's a really, really great options for families that are looking for that flexibility and that nuance in their child's education.
So if you're also curious if Time for Learning is right for your family, visit timeforlearning.com. That's time, number four, learning.com to explore their curriculum and find the perfect plan for your student. You can get started with a monthly subscription to see just how much your kids enjoy learning on their own terms. If a guy hurts you, let's not extend that to the entire gender. My two and my three-year-old are building their sense of self right now. Just hear like, I hate men, men are the worst, and then be like, there's something wrong with me. I'd never want that to happen. There's all these men right now that feel like they're failing because they're not providing financially for their family as much as their wife.
And that is BS. There's so much more to providing for your family than financial. We want men. We want masculine men. But I think that in 2026, we need to redefine healthy masculinity, especially as our roles have changed in society. what's up dudes and welcome back to unplanned is that fun should we rebrand to unplanned with just like the one word unplanned i've actually wanted to do that for a while and i've gotten nervous i don't know why but i think it'd be kind of fun just if this just said unplanned okay i think we do i think we should do it do it do you guys approve it let us know in the comments i Speaking of the comments, everyone that's been leaving reviews, we really appreciate you.
