This publication looks at what it's like to be a man today and what kind of men we want our sons to grow up to be. It looks at how to encourage those qualities in our boys while they're growing up. It explores practical ways of talking to our sons to pass on our values and to encourage good behaviour, attitudes and mindsets. We also look at the role of modelling.

Emotional intelligence is a greater predictor of success in life than any academic achievement. In this publication we look at skills to grow boys' emotional maturity. In particular we look at boys' style of communication. We give parents tools for communicating in ways that suit boys and teach techniques for encouraging boys to talk, both to solve problems and to connect effectively.

We look at several scenarios where boys often have difficulties and examine ways parents can coach their sons for successful outcomes.
