Masterminds And Wingmen

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. *This book may have minor shelfwear.
