Boys will be boys.

Let’s raise good ones.

Raising boys today means actively pushing back — against "boys don't cry" and "boys will be boys" messaging, toxic ideas about masculinity, and a culture that rewards boys for being stoic over emotionally intelligent.

It takes intention, science-backed strategy, and the right support to raise emotionally healthy and attuned boys.

That’s exactly why Dr. Steph (a licensed psychologist + fellow toddler boy mom) created this group. She knows personally that raising emotionally healthy boys starts with informed, supported moms.

  • Open space for toddlers to play

  • Time for moms to share experiences, gain support, + connect with each other

  • Guided discussion + tailored, evidence-based strategies from Dr. Steph to help you:

    • Raise resilient, confident, + emotionally intelligent boys

    • Foster your son’s ability to name + cope with big feelings

    • Respond effectively to tough toddler behaviors

    • Nurture secure attachment & a long-lasting mother-son bond

What to Expect Over 4 Sessions

❋ Intentional Structure

Each gathering balances open play for toddlers with expert-led discussion for moms.

Dr. Steph handpicked each topic in this series to focus on what actually makes a difference in raising emotionally intelligent boys.

❋ supportive Vibes

Some of the best support comes from other moms. This group is designed to have room for real conversation and connection that can last into ongoing playdates and friendships.

❋ Low-key Space

This is a “come-as-you-are” space. Cranky toddlers (and moms!) and comfy sweats are all welcome here.

Spots are also limited to preserve the intimate, small-group feel.

Steph is a licensed clinical psychologist and owner of Evergrow Therapy & Assessment. She brings over a decade of experience working with young children and their parents, plus her own journey as a boy mom, to the group.

FAQs

  • Nope! We allow bringing toddlers as it makes it easier for moms to come (no childcare needed) and can be a good outlet for them. It’s also totally fine for you to come on your own.

  • A little wiggle room should be fine. Email drsteph@evergrowpsych.com to double check that your child isn’t too young or old to benefit.

  • Merritt Wellness has great parking in their lot as well as easily accessible street parking.

  • Please reach out and let Steph know! Priority registration is given to those who can attend all four sessions, but if space allows, drop-in attendance is welcome at a pro-rated fee.
