Boys Should Be Boys

The author has worked with boys and young men for more than thirty years. This is a personal book, written from this experience. He sees boys as needing the kind of support and advice that he believes girls and young women traditionally had and still have today. He believes that there are answers to the questions: why are there so many unhappy boys? Why are there so many sullen, frustrated, hostile and confrontational boys? Why are others thriving and happy?

His answers, and solutions, deserve to be heard. They involve helping boys make good early choices; empowering them to make choices rather than reacting; helping them to build self-confidence and to learn to take responsibility for their actions.

He discusses male parenting; tackles the topic of 'anxiety failure,' and the culture of competitive sport, and how they impact on growing boys and young men.
