It's okay for boys to cry - Raise them equal animation

Every child should feel safe expressing their emotions and asking for help when they need it.

The pressure on boys to hide their tears and act tough can harm their wellbeing and limit their potential. Let’s raise kids who know it’s okay to cry, regardless of their gender. Raising our kids free from limiting ideas about gender supports them to thrive and live to their full potential.

The Raise Them Equal project by Women’s Health Loddon Mallee offers fun, engaging tools that spark conversations about raising gender-equal kids and provide ideas for families, communities, and early learning settings to help children reach their full potential, free from limiting gender stereotypes.
