In an interview with Hook and Barrel, Luke Bryan discussed his approach to raising sons, emphasizing how he teaches his “boys to be men before the world teaches them otherwise.” “First of all, your boys are going to watch their dad. I even reflect on that sometimes.  Just last week, I had to tell one of my boys, ‘I know you have seen me do this… but that doesn’t mean you do it,’” he reflected. “But it all starts with the father in the home—they lean on us as the example. I did it with my dad. I mean, my wife tells me once a week, ‘You sound like your daddy.’” With his wife, Caroline, the country music artist has two sons: 13-year-old Christopher Bryan and 15-year-old Thomas “Bo” Boyer Bryan. “Positive reinforcement and being stern with them,” Bryan added. “Also, they watch the way I treat my wife. When they see me wrap my arms around my wife, and love on her, they associate that with the way you show affection—they pick up on all of that.”
