Boys Don't Cry (And That's A Problem)
from Strangers With Kittens: Gen X Stories from the Least Parented Generation. Hosted by Eileen Kelly
Why are we still telling young boys to toughen up? This week on Strangers With Kittens, Eileen sits down with Kimmi Berlin, founder of the non-profit organization BuildUpBoys, for an honest conversation about parenting boys and eschewing outdated gender roles. Gen X moms Eileen and Kimmi challenge society's toxic cultural norms regarding masculinity. Boys aren't inherently bad—it isn't in their biology. Discover practical parenting advice on how to nurture a boy's emotional intelligence, teach them how to communicate feelings, and raise empathetic sons. Boys aren't bad, it isn't in their biology. We can nurture boys' ability to remain attuned to their emotions, love unabashedly, and communicate. Turns out boys will be boys... but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. BuildUpBoys serves boys from Pre-K through 6th grade. But also educate their parents, grandparents, caretakers, teachers, and coaches on why encouraging them to feel, express, and regulate their entire range of emotions is so important.
