About this episode

The episode discusses how to raise emotionally strong boys with insights from a mental health expert.

Boys aren’t born less emotional - so when do they start learning to hide it? In this episode of Wiggle Talk , Simon and Lachy are joined by clinical psychologist and men’s mental health expert Dr Zac Seidler for a powerful conversation about raising boys who are kind, confident and emotionally connected.  From the messages boys absorb early, to the online worlds waiting for them later, Zac explains why parents don’t need to panic - but they do need to stay curious, stay connected and help boys build the language, trust and self-worth they’ll need as they grow.   HOSTS Simon Pryce Lachlan Gillespie GUEST Dr Zac Seidler You can find out more about Movember  here .
