A dad blog by a geek dad with two geeky kids.
I admit that there are instances when I am simply not having a great time with my son. And at my wit’s end and he starts crying, I am tempted to shout “Boys don’t cry!” This is especially true when we are in public places. This makes me think, is crying not for boys? After much reflection, I found myself reading an article about this. This psychologist author explained that boys may be different from girls in some ways but are also similar in some. She said that young boys and girls do not differ much when they cry. They both cry when fearful or depressed or in whatever emotion that prods them to cry. However, this changes when boys hit puberty and they tend to keep what they truly feel and their need to cry as they do not want to be bashed by doing so. Makes me think, I would be very careful with my words with my son. Comments are closed.
