[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve raised our four boys like you’d raise girls as the social/ emotional skills of girls are more valued in school-aged years. They all play a string instruments and began ballet at 2 (they still all are in dance at 4,6,9,13). They don’t play traditional boy sports so we can avoid the toxic masculine energy. They speak two languages. We require exquisite manners and don’t tolerate rough housing. They also have no access to screens without a parent present. [/quote] Post in 20 years with your results. [/quote] Try 5-10. These things work in lower ages but toxic masculinity and hyper masculinity is still valued in adulthood because there are men and women who grew up with that as the norm. These kids will be considered simps. Its reallllllllly hard to balance boys being able to be masculine without them falling into societal toxic traps. Especially for boys of color. Also rough housing is good for all kids. [/quote]
