YouTube Description
as posted by the channelI look around at America today and I have to ask: what is happening to our men? It’s become so "toxic" to even talk about uplifting them, and the result is a generation that looks nothing like the one my father grew up in. Today’s guest, Dr. John Delony, joined me to pull back the curtain on a crisis that starts way earlier than we realize—in our classrooms.
In this clip, John breaks down a heartbreaking reality: we’ve turned "being a little boy" into a psychological disorder. We’ve traded movement and play for eight hours of worksheets, and in our effort to elevate girls, we’ve accidentally started squashing boys. We talk about the "toolkit" men are missing, why the tide needs to turn for both genders, and how we can stop pathologizing normal childhood behavior. If you’re a parent of a "wiggly" boy or just concerned about the future of men in this country, you cannot miss this.
