Written on July 16, 2006 Summary: You have to pay attention.. to understand what to do with the information presented. Probably the most important chapter in the book is the last one, where the authors explain what boys need. If you are raising a boy, this will help you identify some typical symptomatic boy behaviors, and alert you to major alarms.  Written on June 28, 2006 Summary: boys don't cry....and other harmful myths As the mother of two young boys, but also as a wife, daughter and sister, this book was extremely enlightening in revealing the complicated emotional workings of boys and men, and in looking at the struggles they face as they try to conform to this cultures' expectations about how they should or should not express their feelings. It challenges the cultural 'norms' of encouraging the suppression in the male gender of any feelings other than anger and joy and in this culture's fascination with promoting the 'tough guy' (read: emotionally unexpressive, physically aggressive) persona as a male role model. It also talks candidly about the very real differences in verbal development of boys and girls, and how this often leads boys to feel inadequate in the early school years. While any woman can easily recognize the differences in communication styles between the sexes, it was refreshing to be given some insight as to the developmental and cultural influences that contribute to these differences. Written on May 16, 2006 Summary: Astute and practical For anyone involved in their upbringing, boys present a number of peculiar challenges. They are disproportionally likely to inflict violence on themselves or others (for example, they account for over 80% of suicides and 95% of homicides in their age groups), they are more likely to use alcohol and drugs, they mature and develop some cognitive skills (such as reading and writing prowess) later than the girls their age, they are much more physical than girls (which cannot be truly accommodated by the educational environment in most schools today). To top it all, boys do not really know how to talk about their feelings, so they are unlikely to identify their emotional problems, let alone find a way of resolving them. The book's merit extends beyond pointing out that the problem exists. The authors suggest some practical ways of helping today's boys. It is respecting their feelings and approaching them more with questions rather than answers and suggestions to tough it out. It is trying to create a loving and safe atmosphere, where boys are more likely to risk opening up. It is helping them create emotive vocabulary, which would help them articulate how they feel. It is creating opportunities for safe failure, which would help boys get to know themselves. It is having some safe places where boys could spend their energy (such as a basement gym or a neighborhood basketball court). It is teaching them emotional courage and empathy, which could help them recognize who they are and build character. Insightful, well articulated and timely. A great book. Written on April 16, 2006 Summary: Avoiding distorted manhood For all the resources available to women and young girls, much fewer are presented for boys. Feminism may have empowered women but at times castrated men in society. Now, with gender relations in a constant state of flux, this book is a testament to the benefits of a balance pendulum. In a world where it is a given to nurture a girl, boys need emotional support just as much. Written on March 13, 2006 Summary: A 'Must Read' for Parents of Boys AND Girls As a mother and a psychotherapist I am extremely critical of the mountains of books available to parents - This is one of the best out there...Every parent should read it.
