Books for a Better Life Award Winner
Here is a landmark book that reveals the way boys think and that
shows parents, educators and coaches how to reach out and help boys
overcome their most common yet difficult challenges -- by the
bestselling author who changed our conception of adolescent girls.
Do you constantly struggle to pull information from your son,
student, or athlete, only to encounter mumbling or evasive
assurances such as "It's nothing" or "I'm good?" Do you sense that
the boy you care about is being bullied, but that he'll do anything
to""avoid your "help?" Have you repeatedly reminded him that
schoolwork and chores come before video games only to spy him
reaching for the controller as soon as you leave the room? Have you
watched with frustration as your boy flounders with girls?
Welcome to Boy World. It's 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 from "the guys" even as they ask to copy assignments.
Where "masterminds" dominate and friends ruthlessly insult each
other but can never object when someone steps over the line. Where
hiding problems from adults is the ironclad rule because their
involvement only makes situations worse.
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.
What you'll find in "Masterminds and Wingmen "is critically
important for every parent - or "anyone "who cares about boys - to
know. Collaborating with a large team of middle- and
high-school-age editors, Rosalind Wiseman has created an
unprecedented guide to the life your boy is "actually" experiencing
- his on-the-ground reality. Not only does Wiseman challenge you to
examine your assumptions, she offers innovative coping strategies
aimed at helping your boy develop a positive, authentic, and strong
sense of self.
