Raising Boys in the Digital Jungle: What Parents Must Know About Sex, Screens & the Manosphere

Posted On: November 22, 2025

Boys today are growing up in a digital jungle — a noisy, unfiltered world shaping how they see themselves, women, and relationships.

In my practice, I hear from parents who feel powerless against the confident, persuasive voices of online influencers preaching dominance, control, and emotional detachment.

This live virtual talk helps you take that power back — with calm, clarity, and connection. Based on my Straits Times commentary and 17 years of clinical experience, I’ll show you how to guide your sons toward empathy, respect, and real confidence in a confusing online age.

🌱 What You’ll Learn

  1. What the manosphere is and how it targets boys in Singapore

  2. Why algorithms push toxic “alpha male” content even when kids aren’t looking for it

  3. How to talk about sex, porn, and respect without shame or awkwardness

  4. The 3 A’s Framework — Acknowledge, Ask, Affirm — to keep conversations open

  5. Conversation starters for every age, from 5 to 17

  6. Calm ways to respond when you discover worrying online content

  7. Everyday practices that build emotional literacy, empathy, and respect at home

👥 Who This Is For

  1. Parents and caregivers of boys aged 5 – 17

  2. Educators, counsellors, and youth mentors

  3. Grandparents or extended family involved in caregiving
