Summary:
Here is a landmark book that reveals how
boys
think, showing parents, educators, and coaches how to reach out and help
boys
overcome their most common yet difficult challenges. Do you constantly struggle to pull information from your son, student, or athlete, only to encounter evasive assurances like "It's nothing"? Do you sense that the
boy
you care about is being bullied, but that he'll do anything to avoid your "help?" Have you watched with frustration as your
boy
flounders with girls? Welcome to
Boy
World
: a place where asking for help or showing emotional pain often feels impossible. Where sports and video games can mean everything, but working hard in school frequently earns ridicule. Where hiding problems from adults is the ironclad rule.
Boy
World
is governed by social hierarchies and a powerful set of unwritten
rules
that have huge implications for your
boy
's relationships, his interactions with you, and the man he'll become. If you want what's best for him, you need to know what these
rules
are and how to work with them effectively.--From publisher.
