I read a short article on this topic in the USA Today Weekender Magazine. The message I took away was that abuse is a learned behavior. In the seminars I conducted with at-risk teen I certainly encountered this phenomena. Boys who were or saw abuse as a child in turn were abusive as they reached their teen years.
So dads what are you teaching your sons through your actions. Not just about abuse, but are you teaching your sons to be respectful? Talking to you sons is one things but the most effective teaching is through your own actions. How do you teach and talk to you wife, girl friend, daughter and women in general? Do you allow your young sons to watch some of the disrespectful TV shows and movie? What kind of music do your sons listen to?
You dads are the most influential factor in your sons lives!
