Manage episode 393078655 series 3423359
I’m your host Christina Crowe and I love making invisible things visible. Today I have the privilege of speaking with Brendan Kwiatkowski, Ph.D. an Educator & Researcher of Masculinity, Social-Emotional Learning, Special Education and Social Justice. Today we break down some of the myths around masculinity and learn more about the emotional inner lives of boys and men.
Together we tackle:
- What are the main challenges teenage boys face in expressing their emotions?
- How can parents support their children's development and navigate their own growth?
- How can parents learn to understand and navigate their own nervous system function?
- How can society transcend the polarization around masculinity?
- How does intersectionality impact accountability and personal growth?
