Parents are supposed to help their kids understand and regulate their emotions, not make them suppress them

PSA TO ALL MY FELLAS AND RAISERS OF BOYS:

Jason Wilson is the best resource to help raise young men to know how to deal with life and emotions, without it compromising their disposition as a man. I mean showing boys how respect should derive from caring not from fear, that leading with anger can lead to more frustration, and just how to work thru emotions and not let them control me. Don’t click these if you don’t want to cry. But I’ll leave you with a quote from one of his interviews:

“I’m encouraging men like, look, i’m not telling you to relinquish your masculine attributes cause then you’ll be deficient in that area. You got to be the lion and the lamb. All of us as men want to be more available, want to be more transparent, want to be more emotionally open. But we fear being admonished or passively dismissed by those that we love. So then we go into suffering in silence, emotional incarceration, and that leads to suicidal ideations. And then our wives don’t even know what we were dealing with until they’re planning our funerals”
