About Our Boys - a Practical Guide to Bringing out the Best in Boys

(Leaping Boy Publications)

Written at the request of parents and youth workers who had read Lucinda Neall's book for teachers, this book looks at what makes boys tick, what motivates and de-motivates them and how to help them navigate the journey to manhood. It is packed with examples from daily life. About Our Boys:

Explores why boys are different from girls, and what boys need to flourish
Focuses on what to do and say to get boys on board
Gives 12 ways to avoid nagging and shouting
Encourages adults to see the positive in boys
Calls on men to guide boys towards manhood

‘A really accessible, practical and useful handbook for parents and anyone who works with boys … not only explains clearly and insightfully what makes boys tick, but also provides a host of tips and strategies for bringing the best out in them.’

Sue Palmer, author of Toxic Childhood

'A brilliant read! ... How does she know this, is she a man?'

Phil Hood, Youth Worker

‘Everyone needs to read this book in order to get a full understanding on how us males tick. It has revolutionised my approach to teaching boys – I can now let them release their masculine energy in a positive way without feeling threatened. Let that masculine time-bomb explode in your home, classroom and youth centre in a creative way!’

Tony Thompson, Boyz 2 Men Project

'I really enjoyed reading this both as a mother and as a child psychologist. The examples flowed off the page to reinforce the points beautifully.'

Julie Stokes, OBE, Founder of Winston's Wish

'Testosterone can be a challenging ingredient in any household and this book gives us all a hope of turning boisterous boys into confident young men to be proud of.'

Superintendent Mick Doyle, Thames Valley Police
