  <title>Raising Boys #3: Why Is It So Hard for Boys to Talk About Their Feelings? With Matt Browning, LPC</title>
  <description>We're continuing the conversation about raising boys with another guest expert. Together with Matt Browning, Licensed Professional Counselor at Virginia Family Therapy, we'll dive deeper into the topic of why it is so hard for our kids who identify as boys to talk about their feelings. In this episode on why it's hard for boys to talk about their feelings, we cover:  The biological reasons why boys experience difficulty talking about their emotions; The social influences that make it hard for boys to talk about their feelings; Relatable, personal stories of feedback Matt received when he expressed his emotions growing up; The importance of developing relationships; Useful sports references that will help your kids; Sports heroes who talk about their emotions and show vulnerability on screen; And more!
