So what are some of the misconceptions that you feel like you had maybe from messages or just from your experience of what it would be like to raise boys that you've noticed some differences in
12:04
reality? Well, you hit on this a little bit around the emotions and the empathy.
12:10
You do hear, and I think society also tells boys that they're not supposed to be emotional, but they have just as many emotions as girls.
12:20
They definitely express them differently or they don't express them at all, right? And I think that evolves into not expressing them as much.
12:30
But certainly early on, they show their emotions through being physical.
12:36
So they're rambunctious, they're loud, they're attention seeking, right? And so I think we've all experienced that.
12:42
Oh my gosh, here come the boys.

What are some of the things that you and Keith have worked through or adjusted in your home over time as work situations or kids and life situations have changed? What does that look like for you guys?
