Unfortunately, males tend to be raised to believe they are not supposed to have or show emotions. The only emotion that is permitted is anger or silence. That’s not right because men are only human and deserve to be taught about different emotions and that it’s ok to feel emotions.

DBT is a therapy that is designed to help patients learn about different feelings and how to work through them. This would be good for your oldest who tends to experience mostly anger. It’s so important to learn about the different emotions for everyone. That way a person is not left being like that little 3 year old not having the words for his feeling and confusion as to why his mommy forgot to kiss him goodbye.
