It's healthy for kids to be curious about things like the manosphere, experts say, but parents need to help them navigate the harmful messages it promotes.
online men's communities"It's not a question of whether boys will be exposed to the manosphere … will get caught by it," says Josh Glover, senior facilitator of The Man Cave, a not-for-profit promoting healthy masculinity for boys and young men.
" are a time of trying to do the inner work and figure out who you are … it's developmentally appropriate," Dr Coulson says. "The harm comes when they don't hear other perspectives … or don't have other role models they can ask questions of. "They are connecting for a reason, and we want to try and understand that world and what is going on for them.""When we hear something we disagree with, it can be easy to come in and say 'That's wrong'.As well as challenging concerning messages our children are seeing, Mr Glover says we can focus on the positive aspects – and often that's a more helpful place to start.
"I will spend time watching this with you, because I want to understand it," is an example of what you might say, he says.
