   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) trinker | Jan 9, 2020 |   ) rivkat | Jan 5, 2018 | My library has a regular email that goes out that gives a brief overview of new books, and when I happened to see this I was interested from the perspective of what Wiseman calls an "Ally" - an adult mentor and non-parent that boys can talk to. Wiseman's general perspective is one of offering boys guidance in making moral choices in school and play and most of all to treat everyone with dignity. She is primarily writing to parents, so much of the specific conversations she outlines are not ones I would have with boys in my circle. I got the most out of the beginning where she talks about boy culture and the "act like a man box." Though she has to speak in generalities, she reminds readers that the boy you're interacting with may not quite fit into what she outlines. I understood a lot of things that teen boys have confided in me much more completely after reading what she said. The quotes she includes from the boys with whom she worked were enlightening as well. ( ) bell7 | Jul 5, 2014 | This book is the boy equivalent of Mean Girls. In it she attempts to decode "boy world". Since I have two little boys I thought this might be interesting. I was not impressed. To be fair, maybe it would all mean more to me if my boys were in the target age group she's describing, middle-high school, but I don't think so. I found her way to quick to try to categorize every boy and every parent and too slow to acknowledge that people rarely fit in such well defined categories. The book is divided into sections for specific problems, so if you're having a specific problem I guess reading that section might be helpful, but I just wasn't a fan of her approach or tone. (  ) japaul22 | Jan 7, 2014 | I was very excited to receive this book! As an educator, I have spent the bulk of my career working with at-risk populations and have been baffled by Boy World. It was a treat to hear from them (through Wiseman), to shed light on their thoughts and behaviors, and the strategies that can help.

HTML: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 and 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 Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
