In this episode, we spoke to Kathy Imabayashi, an educator in early childhood development. We discuss why it is critical to pay special attention to young boys in the 0-8 age bracket as this is the critical time in their development. We also cover the neglect of young boys in the years since the feminist movement started. She gives us tips on how we should treat young boys. This was a great conversation as we got to see a woman's perspective on this complicated issue. Follow Kathy at:
