Boys of Few Words
Raising Our Sons to Communicate and Connect
|
|
by
Adam J. Cox
February 2006
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 J. 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.
