| Sumario: | When parents feel separated from their sons by a curtain of silence or a wall of resistance, they're right to be concerned. Boys of few words, the ones who limit their expression to a timid shrug or an indifferent grunt, need our help. Whether the problem is rooted in 'nature' or 'nurture, ' boys who grow up unable to talk about their thoughts and feelings find it hard to connect with others at school, home, and eventually in business and personal relationships. Psychologist Adam Cox helps parents understand all the factors that may be limiting their son's ability or willingness to communicate, from social pressures to brain differences, from personality traits to a simple lack of vocabulary. Based on these insights, parents can choose specific strategies to help their son improve the language and social skills needed to express himself. Mothers and fathers everywhere will see their own boys in this book, and will come away prepared to help them overcome obstacles, connect with others, and succeed in school and beyond. |
