Why ‘Toughening Up’ Boys Could Be Doing More Harm Than Good

Dr Billy Garvey joins us and challenges the idea that boys simply need to "toughen up". We explore how expectations around emotions, behaviour and resilience can shape boys as they grow, why shutting down feelings may have unintended consequences and what parents can do to help boys develop confidence without having to hide what they're feeling and take your parenting calls live.
