Keys to Understanding Your Son's Heart and Mind
Your son struggles with the constant pressure to prove himself--in the classroom, on the playing field, and especially among his friends. And while he may put up a tough exterior, deep inside he hungers for family support and connection. You long to be there for him, but chances are he's put up a formidable wall of silence, leaving you wondering how to break through.
In What Your Son Isn't Telling You, teen experts Michael Ross and Susie Shellenberger offer a rare glimpse into the secret lives of teen boys--behind-the-scenes footage you might miss in the day-to-day life of your son--accompanied by practical advice on how to provide the support and connection your son desperately needs.
Packed with real-life stories and emails from teen guys, this must-read will give you a new understanding of what your son isn't telling
I don't have any kids, but thought this looked like a good book to review, and it was. Though not a long book, having only 190 pages, it is packed with useful information for parents of teen boys. There are 15 chapters dealing with everything from what he needs from Mom, father and son time, dating, the internet, and even covers the gay issue. They included a lot of emails from teen boys, which are fascinating and heartbreaking. I highly recommend this book as a useful tool for any parents who have teen boys, or will.
