Why Boys Don't Cry: The Real Impact of Tough Love

NOIRPOISED Podcast

Are we harder on boys than girls, even as toddlers? Is it necessary for boys to face tough love from an early age, or are we unintentionally creating emotional scars under the guise of strength?

In this episode, we tackle the fine line between discipline and emotional neglect. From the differing ways parents handle crying boys versus girls to the long-term impact of societal expectations, we ask: Are we preparing boys for the real world—or holding them back from emotional growth?

Is tough love the only way to raise strong men? Tune in and challenge how you may view parenting, gender norms, and the lessons this generation is teaching our children—intentionally or not.
