Why Letting Boys Cry Matters: Breaking the Silence Around Emotions

Growing up, I often heard, "Boys don't cry." But as a parent now, I see how much that message can hurt. My son once came home from school, tears in his eyes after a tough day. Instead of telling him to "man up," I sat with him, listened, and let him feel. In that moment, I realized how important it is to give our boys permission to express their emotions without shame. Tears aren't a sign of weakness—they're a sign of being human. Let's raise boys who are comfortable with their feelings and know it's okay to be vulnerable.
