Boys Don't Cry (And That's A Problem)

from Strangers With Kittens · host Eileen Kelly

Send us Fan MailThis week Eileen and special guest Kimmi Berlin, founder and creator of the non-profit organization BuildUpBoys discuss parenting, mentoring, and nurturing boys. These two GenXers are all too familiar with the clear gender roles of generations past which is why they had so much fun criticizing cultural norms and challenging society's idea of what a man should or shouldn't be. 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.
