Show Notes
Now that we have a better understanding of why it is so hard for boys to talk about feelings, let's dive into what we can do to help our boys talk about their emotions.
I'm continuing the conversation with Matt Browning, who shares actionable strategies for helping our boys verbally express their feelings more easily. So how do we go about this? What are some actionable tactics to help our boys? And when is actually the right time to talk about this? Matt has all the answers in today's episode.
In this episode on helping boys talk about feelings, we discuss:
- Actionable strategies for helping boys talk about feelings;
- The importance of education around emotions and how to go about it;
- Why it's helpful to keep it general at first instead of going personal right away;
- Leaning into the resistance you feel from your kid instead of going against it;
- When's the right time to talk about feelings?;
- And so much more!
