'Boys need to know it's ok to be human.' Help them learn emotional intelligence in 5 ways
About this episode
Stereotypically, boys are taught to be tough... to push through the pain and pick themselves back up. Perhaps even hide what they’re really feeling. This common perception of masculinity is being challenged by individuals like former Philadelphia Eagle center, Jason Kelce.
During a recent press conference announcing his retirement, Jason, along with his brother Travis Kelce, displayed a level of emotional openness that is often considered atypical for men.
