If you’re a parent to boys, you might see a pretty major emotional shift happen at two main points: when they’re five and when they’re 15.\u00a0 Dr. Brendan Kwiatkowski, a doctor who specializes in boys’ and men’s social and emotional well-being, is explaining why in a viral TikTok video where he calls these points times of “boy crisis.”<\/p>\n
“I want you to think about these ‘boy crises’ as significant time periods when boys get disconnected from authentic parts of themselves, usually their emotional parts,” he explains. “Prior to the age of five, boys tend to be more emotionally expressive than girls. However, that shifts around that time period, when boys become less verbally expressive than girls do.”<\/p>\n
