Summary:
"
When
Judy Y. Chu first encountered the four-year-old
boys
we meet in this book, they were experiencing a social initiation into boyhood. They were initially astute in picking up on other people's emotions, emotionally present in their
relationships
, and competent in their navigation of the human social world. However, the
boys
gradually appeared less perceptive, articulate, and responsive, and became more guarded and subdued in their
relationships
as they learned to prove that they are
boys
primarily by showing that they are not girls. Based on a two-year study of
boys
aged four to six,
When
Boys
Become
Boys
offers a new way of thinking about
boys
'
development
. Chu finds that behaviors typically viewed as "natural" for
boys
reflect an adaptation to cultures that require
boys
to be emotionally stoic, competitive, and aggressive if they are to be accepted as "real
boys
." Yet even as
boys
begin to reap the social benefits of aligning with norms of masculine behavior, they pay a psychological and relational price for hiding parts of their authentic selves. Through documenting
boys
' perceptions of the obstacles they face and the pressures they feel to conform, and showing that their compliance with norms of masculine behavior is neither automatic nor inevitable, this accessible and engaging book provides insight into ways in which adults can foster
boys
' healthy resistance and help them to access a broader range of options for expressing themselves"--From publisher.
