Ringleaders and Sidekicks: How to Help Your Son Cope with Classroom Politics, Bullying, Girls and Growing Up Reviews

Good insights into group dynamics of young and teenage boys and general advice to parents that does not become too specific (as every scenario is different and every parent is different), provides examples of conversations to have with boys that are natural, and doesn't pretend that everything will work out 100% all the time. Your boys will make mistakes, but the book focuses on the fact that people are not their behaviours and so the question is how to deal with / address such times. Most importantly, words from young boys themselves are included, to let us hear their world and frustrations from their point of view. I used this book for research into how my male fictional characters would interact in a school environment.

Geen ontspannende lectuur, maar wel interessant voor wie probeert tienerjongens op te voeden. Sommige hoofdstukken zijn nogal geënt op de Amerikaanse maatschappij, maar dat doet zeker geen afbreuk aan de bruikbaarheid van het boek.
