Summary
For boys, adolescence can be a minefield and parents are bewildered as how to best guide their precious sons. Many parents wake one day to find that their loving, endearing little boys have turned into sullen, monosyllabic hulks, who seem incapable of responding to the simplest request. Well-known Australian author, parenting and resilience educator and one of Australia's favourite boy experts Maggie Dent, offers parents and guardians a compassionate and practical guidebook, packed with advice and ground-breaking techniques on how to stay calm and communicate effectively to defuse conflict; 'unstick' an unmotivated son; teach them to cope with loss and failure, and how to recover; help them foster healthy friendships and intimate relationships; and navigate technology and the digital world. From Boys to Men empowers parents with insight, tips and a common-sense approach to help all boys - and their families - thrive as they progress through adolescence, offering hope for a future of adventure, stability, engagement and connection
