Building emotional skills in boys

David Thomas draws on his counseling work with boys and parents to address emotional struggles such as anger, anxiety, and depression. The book organizes its guidance around skills including understanding one’s strengths and weaknesses, working through emotions constructively, coping with challenges, and recognizing other people’s feelings. Its parenting advice is framed through a Christian perspective, connecting emotional development with a Christ-like understanding of masculinity. The scope extends beyond parents to grandparents, teachers, and others involved in a boy’s life, making the book’s central subject both emotional growth and the adults’ role in supporting it.

About those meltdowns, blowups, and one-word answers . . .

Some say that's just how boys are--prone to outbursts or sullenness. But what's behind these and other issues?

● Resourceful--equipped to work through his emotions in constructive ways
● Aware--so that he better understands himself, including his strengths and weaknesses
● Resilient--having the capacity to cope and feel competent
● Empathetic--able to understand the feelings and experiences of others

Helpful also for grandparents, teachers, and anyone else who has a boy in their life, this book shows how a strong emotional foundation leads to a Christ-like sense of masculinity that will serve him well his whole life.
