8:11 am
one is, if you're going to make an ira contribution, you've got to make that by the deadline. out can't go on extension with that. please try to estimate what you owe. this is incredibly important. >> better to overestimate than tounder estimate. to john's point, it's not >> announcer: this morning's eye opener at 8:00 is sponsored by

lives than girls. in his book, "how to raise a boy: the power of connection to build good men", michael reichert says there's an opportunity to get boyhood right, perhaps for the first time. michael joins us first here on "cbs this morning." welcome. >> glad to be with you all. thanks for having me. >> what are we doing wrong with the way we raise boys? >> the basic understanding of boys natures is off base. i don't think we perceive them as relational and emotional creatures. what we know is that, you know, our human brains are wired to connect and our emotions are a critical part of how we relate to the world and understand ourselves. getting that right is fundamentally important, i think, for building good men. >> you talk of nourishing that part of them. what is the man box you describe? >> great question. set up cultural norms that have been around forever.
8:37 am
i think the idea of conditioning boys to fit into a certain role is heavily prescriptive and it actually cuts boys, men, off from our human natures, particularly relationships. >> what are some of the norms? >> be strong. be tough. be willing to fight. >> man up. >> yeah, man up. don't knshow upset. >> know how to operate the grill, that kind of stuff. >> how is the metoo movement changing the way we raise them? >> i think the women's movement in general opened up the possibilities for us to reconsider manhood and masculinity. >> in a positive way? >> in a very positive way. things are different for this generation of boys, your son than my sons or certainly me. i think there's a whole new understanding of how to get along with people and how to hold on to our hearts that's happening for boys now.
8:38 am
>> there's often a gap between what a boy feels and what those close to him know. what are we supposed to do with that? you are looking at your son and think he is okay, but there's a lot going on inside that we don't know. >> george orwell a writer had a quote, he wears a mask and grows to fit. i think, in addition to the man box, there's an idea of the mask of masculinity that boys have to hide behind or they are vulnerable to being badly treated. >> boys are told, don't show you are nervous or scared, even when you are. >> for sure. >> you are told that by your parents. >> we have to learn how to be strong and stoic by 3 years old. by 2 1/2-year-old grandson is learning that now. >> even in situations where you have to be strong and stoic. there are situations, whether you are a man or woman where strength starpts with a partner or family member.
8:39 am
you have to talk about it. how do you get them to talk about these complicated, emotional issues which people have trouble with. >> i have the luxury of working at a boy's school. i lead an emotional literacy program for 40 or 50 boys that show up voluntarily. they call it the best program in school. they talk to each other about difficult emotional topics. they have no trouble doing it. if we build it, they will come. >> you said, if you provide a safe place where they feel they are being listened to and that people really want to hear it, they will open up. amazing things happen when they speak. >> yeah, what we see is, you know, what we know from research, it's not the experience of emotion but difference between men and women, boys and girls. it's the expression. the expression follows feelings we culturally preskib. >> do we need to think about the conversations happening, maybe not between fathers and sons or mothers and sons, but between a
8:40 am
young man and someone like you? >> a coach? >> the young men i see love talking to each other. there's a role i play, as an adult man. we are the keepers of boyhood. we are the architects and the managers of boyhood. we have to give permission. >> you write, also, about special time and how important it is for parents to have that for their sons. parents are like give me lessons or something to hold on to. >> it's the idea that, if we can put aside, we come to parenting, generally, parenting boys in particular with lots of anxiety and worry or concerns or desires or to manage them in a particular way. if we can put that aside and get with our sons and simply follow their lead, indicating we love being with them, they are delighted. they are delightful to us and willing to go wherever that might be without modifying things. that's a fundamental skill in
8:41 am
building a relationship. >> be in each other's presence. >> for the boy to get the message that i'm going to pay attention to you and be with you, regardless. >> i like what you said. men aren't the only ones that can raise boys and men. mothers play a key role. >> the mom makes many women feel like they need to let their sons go at the risk of ruining their masculinity. it's just the opposite. >> stay close. >> keep them close. >> i believe that. thank you, michael. >> nice talking with you all. thanks for having me. >> "how to raise a boy" is on sale today wherever you buy books. up to code. one of the show's stars is luke mitchell. there he is. he's in the toyota [ loud traffic sounds ]

when i came out, every cell in my body had a different electrical charge. felt like i was burning from the inside out. i learned to manipulate them, concentrate them, transfer them on to something else, like static electricity. >> i can feel it moving through my body. it feels weird.
8:46 am
>> it took a while to get it under control. when i first got here, i almost burned the place down, literally. >> that's luke mitchell in "agents of shield." he now stars in "the code." crinkles the lives of attorneys who serve in the u.s. marine corps. he makes a case for prosecuting his friend. >> jason was my c.o. when i got shot. he made sure i got back into my feet and turned into one of the best friends i had. last night, he took a knife and bled out on the operating table. >> i know, and i'm sorry. >> i would like to request we bring the accused to quantico. the murder of an officer. furthermore, i want to handle the prosecution. >> did you say furthermore? >> i did. >> because he's smart, too.
8:47 am
smart and gorgeous. i love the opening premier. it starts with your mentor, who is in the military is killed by one of his own men. then we are off to the races. it seems like a very open and shut case if you were watching. >> yes. >> when you read the script, you said i want to play it because, what? >> oh, man. the marine corps is just a really fascinating thing, especially a lawyer in the marine corps. >> yeah. >> it was something i didn't know anything about. when i read the scripts, i mean, this guy, they are all the best of the best in what they do. they are so smart and so tough and so bad ass. it was interesting to explore to me. >> there's such a lingo you have to learn, too. the military uses devil dogs, which means marine. boot refers to someone fresh out of boot camp. what was it like learning the new terminology?
8:48 am
>> i felt like i was going back to school. every episode, they are throwing new words at me. i'm like, okay, i need to know what this is. >> you are not a lawyer by training? >> absolutely not. >> you passed. you went to school and passed. >> thank you. >> you are clean shaven. you are no longer clean shaven here for the moment. what did that do to your character? you look young. >> that's the first thing it did to me, it made me look young. the last three years, i had a full beard. the first thing i asked my new boss when i got this job was, can i keep some sort of facial hair? absolutely not. in the marines, you have to be clean shaven. >> so you know, i'm going to look young. anyway, it's fun. it's cool to be able to change my look for the different characters. >> there's reverence and respect for the military, clearly. and the issues they face. you touch on those like traumatic brain injury.
8:49 am
>> each and every episode. >> you don't have to watch one to get to know the other. every episode is individual. so, there's a beginning, middle and end. if shbd wants to join mid season, which we hope they don't, you are caught up. >> absolutely. there are really interesting, intertwining stories between the main characters as we get to know each of them throughout the season. but, for the most part, every episode is a stand alone. >> we hear if you weren't acting, you would be a tennis player? you are got on the court. >> i would like to think i am. that didn't pan out so well for me. that was my main thing for me growing up. i did want to be a professional player. i wasn't good enough. >> we are available for a doubles match. >> great. >> you will want norah on your team. luke mitchell, good to have you here.
