• Episode 4: Raising Children Who Are Accountable and Empowered

  Monday, November 10 @ 3 pm ET/ 12 pm PT

  In this episode, we explore machismo and traditional beliefs about masculinity — where these ideas come from, how they’ve shaped our culture, and how they impact the way children grow, learn, and relate to one another. We’ll look at how these cultural norms influence children’s emotional expression and sense of responsibility, and how they also affect their confidence, voice, and leadership. Together, we’ll examine how these beliefs show up in our daily lives and how caregivers — including fathers, mothers, and extended family — can nurture emotional strength, mutual respect, and purpose in both girls and boys. This session invites all of us to reflect, grow, and raise youth who thrive and uplift each other.
