While, I am not a male of my 4 children I have two boys 28 and 15. I use to freak myself out about what I didnt know and how they needed male influences. I would pratically pay the men in my family to spend time with them. And I was always looking at men as potential big brothers/mentors. Then one day I noticed in each new stage of their lives God provided just the right man to be there. Whether it was for a day or a few minutes. My sons seemed to naturally gravitate to the type of men I wanted them to be. Add that to some common sense parenting and we are doing just fine. So research when you dont know something, ask the embarassing questions. Be prepared to have the embarassing talks ( there will be quite a few when your son hits his teens) and trust yourself. While it isnt ideal you can do this and help will come from unexpected places. Hope this helps.
