From: Cracking the Boy Code

• Before asking a question, think about how you would feel if your son posed the same question, in the same tone.
• Boredom is the enemy of a positive connection. Be honest and straightforward. Talk about serious things.
• Don’t get offended by boys’ assertion of privacy. Personal boundaries are less about keeping secrets than having control of personal mental space.
