Prologue

From: Cracking the Boy Code

$0.60

This is a book about relating to and talking with boys. I’ve written this book for you. For most of my 20 years as a psychologist, the social and emotional development of boys — how to help boys become capable and confident young men — has been a primary interest. Cracking the Boy Code is also a lens for looking at boyhood itself; it makes little sense to suggest how to connect more effectively with boys without also saying something about their psychology.
