Summary

Raising boys and girls can feel like parenting two entirely different species. The experience is different, the energy is different—and both come with their own unique challenges and rewards. In this episode, we unpack some of the common stereotypes and doomsday narratives about raising boys—and why those stories miss the mark. Boys today are often more emotionally aware than we give them credit for, sometimes even more in tune than their dads. As moms, one of our most important roles is learning how to really see them, understand what they need, and meet them where they are.
