Parenting boys and girls often looks different—but much of what we see comes from social expectations rather than natural emotional needs. To nurture emotionally intelligent kids, we must go beyond outdated roles and give every child the space to feel, express, and grow.

■ Boys are often pushed to “act tough” or express themselves through action.

■ Girls are usually encouraged to talk about feelings, but not always to assert themselves.

■ Both need the freedom to explore empathy, vulnerability, and strength—without limits.

• Encourage Open Communication

• Model Emotional Intelligence at Home

• Introduce Diverse Role Models

• Teach Emotional Regulation Skills

• Celebrate Each Child’s Individuality
