In October, the singer, who shares her only child with ex-husbandTy Murray, opened up about parenting Kase during an episode of Allison Kugel’s podcastAllison Interviews.
“My son is a very emotional child. He is very creative. Something I’ve really been working on with my son is differentiating between a genuine emotion and a reaction,” she shared.
“For me, it has been going back and really studying masculinity among indigenous cultures; the rites of passage from a male perspective, and not putting my female perspective on it,” she said. “But instead, learning about masculinity in an indigenous way, as well as realizing I would have a tendency to want tooverempower my child’s feelings.”

She said it’s “really important” for a child that they learn “you can’t use your feelings as a tactic.”
She added it’s especially important to understand for “a child that has a mom that’s like, ‘I care about your feelings,’ which I do.”
As she helps Kase to navigate his emotions, Jewel said this is something she believes the rest of the world needs assistance with as well.
“Right now, the world isn’t having a lot of authentic feelings, it’s having a lot of reactions. It’s using volatile and highly emotionally charged reactions to bully people into [specific] behavior,” she said on the show. “That’s the role type of being ‘woke’ now. I find that really interesting.”
Jewel continued: “Something I’m thinking about right now with my son is, ‘How do I implement him learning to self-assess because we don’t want to have a reaction? We want to have a thoughtful and centered response.’ "
