Raising boys : why boys are different - and how to help them become happy and well-balanced men

Boys need to be parented in a different way from girls with their own very special psychological and physical make-up.

Home, society and education have failed boys badly - and these failures lead to unhappy men who cannot fully become, happy, responsible and emotionally confident adults.It is essential that boys, from the age of 6-13 spend more time learning how to be men from their fathers.

Mothers if anything need to pull away at this time. From 13 onwards a boy will need a male adult mentor figure outside his immediate family to teach him the best way to live.

Without these things boys will turn to alcohol, drugs, despair and non-achievement and, not grow up into feeling, responsible male adults.
