It can be a tough world out there for boys. They may be under-performing at school, having trouble with organisation or getting into trouble. Some boys’ high energy and excessive competitiveness can be difficult to live with and some are aggressive. Boys typically find it difficult to express or manage their emotions. This talk looks at ways to help parents help their sons become self-assured, cooperative and motivated. We show parents how to help boys channel their high energy constructively and how to manage aggression. We give parents tools for communicating in a style that suits boys and teach techniques for encouraging boys to talk.

The talk will cover:

• What kind of an adult man do you want your son to be?
• Effective ways to manage boys’ high energy, physicality and aggression
• Ways of encouraging boys to do their best without being excessively competitive
• Setting up structure and routine to help boys thrive
• Helping boys manage and express emotions
