Comment on How can I practice being more emotionally available as a man?
Very_Bad_Janet@kbin.social 9 months agoI don’t coddle them, but I want them to feel secure and confident in talking to me.
I think it's ok to coddle them every once in a while. You won't spoil them if its occasional.

Coddling has the negative connotation - to consistently overprotect. Occasional spoiling is an entirely different and good thing.
