I am female, the mom.

I have 2 Dd that I’m very comfortable being their mom bec well....we’re all females & I feel I have much to teach them about being a confident female. I don’t seem to doubt my parenting here.
But my youngest is 8yo male. He shows signs of anxiety which I try very hard with him to build his confidence. But I seem to have trouble I guess, relating to him bec...well he’s a male. Does this make sense?

I try to teach the same values & principles, but it’s a fine line between the 2 sexes if this makes sense & how society defines their roles. Even in school or socially like on the playground. Sometimes I feel like I am not doing him justice.

Small example.
He loves video gaming. In fact that’s really all he loves. I’ve tried other things to try to explore his interests, but keep coming up short. Sometimes I feel it’s my age. I’m 47 & feel very old trying to raise a high energy boy. I get tired. And honestly sometimes I just give up & he goes back to putting himself in front of a screen. And I feel responsible for this.

Do females feel differently trying to raise males?
Or the other way around for some others?
Thanks!
