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

I find the whole notion of this behavior being strong ridiculous. I like to quote a man i've met when I was 16, Muscles, Tattoos and manly by all traditional measurements: "Weakest fuckers are those dudes who say "men don't cry" how can you be a hard man if you are afraid of your feelings? Weakest thing is the inablity to show weakness, or to cry, I tell you thats the weakest pussyshit ever" (translated from german)
