There’s a growing belief that “boys are broken,” but while this crisis mentality is new, routine casualties have always been an inconvenient truth about boyhood.

Male socialization has been a sacrificial experience in which boys are fitted to cultural norms that work against their human natures. In fact, what’s happening to boyhood is more creative disruption than crisis. Women’s rights, civil rights, and gay rights have advanced equality and challenged the historic dominance of white males – and the system of conditioning sustaining it. While many males feel uncertain in this #MeToo moment, there are many indications that a re-imagining of masculinity is well underway.

Educators, coaches, and parents of boys will require support and guidance in this time of transition. The opportunities are huge for school specialists.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• demonstrate mastery of the concept that boyhood is a social construction never designed to fit boys’ basic developmental needs and that the costs of this poor fit have been steep for both the society and for males
• apply key dimensions of child development – emotional literacy, friendship and intimacy, health and wellness, violence, digital citizenship – to the gendered nature of threats and casualties
• describe a relational approach to teaching, mentoring and parenting boys for its power to nurture virtue and resilience
