The Five Factors

• The Absence of Challenge: Modern society often shields boys from challenges, depriving them of opportunities to develop resilience and a sense of purpose.
• The Decline of Physical Activity: Play and physical activity are essential for boys' physical, mental, and emotional well-being, but sedentary lifestyles are becoming increasingly prevalent.
• The Rise of Social Media: While social media can have benefits, excessive use can lead to social isolation, anxiety, and a distorted view of reality.
• The Changing Role of Fathers: In many families, fathers are less involved in their sons' lives, leaving them without a strong male role model.
• The Lack of Purpose: Boys need to feel that their lives have meaning and direction. Without opportunities to contribute or make a difference, they may become apathetic.
