Understanding the Emotional Needs of Boys

Boys have emotional fragility and need nonverbal signs of love and understanding from parents, especially mothers. Boys often struggle to articulate their feelings due to biological and societal factors. It is crucial for parents to create a safe space for boys to express vulnerable emotions and provide emotional coaching to help them navigate their feelings positively. Parents should focus on connecting with their sons in ways that acknowledge their emotional sensitivity and individual needs.
