Great post, Joanna! Did you see this piece recently by Andrew Reiner? https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2023/06/15/boys-in-crisis-masculinity-andrew-reiner It talks about the perils of disconnecting too soon.

Re #2: I've found it helpful to be open to other forms of physical affection too. I still offer (and accept!) hugs, but fist bumps & shoulder taps are good too.

Incredibly important piece, Joanna. Cheering you along as your bring more awareness to this issue. And props on the "action items" at the end. Trying to make sure I'm putting these into play in the boys and young men in my daily life.
