Episode 205: Are My Kids on Track - Milestone One: Emotional Vocabulary

Raising Boys & Girls

NOTE

Feelings Are Universal, Expression Is Key

Beliefs about boys having fewer feelings lead to a dismissal of the emotional complexities they face. Boys experience emotions just as deeply as girls but may not have the tools or encouragement to express them effectively. Cultural messages further complicate this, as society often teaches boys to suppress their emotions rather than communicate them. This can result in anger as a default emotional outlet. It is essential to counter these cultural scripts by fostering environments where boys are supported in recognizing and expressing their emotions to develop healthier emotional intelligence.
