Dear Annie,
Yes it does make sense. Thank you for your prompt reply. I will follow up with your advice through his school. I have also just got hold of a copy of "Raising Boys" and am looking into a sport for him. He wishes to play football.Single Mum
Dear Single Mum,
Here is another book I would highly recommend: "Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Lives of Boys" by Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson. (You can read my review of it here.
Also, since it sounds like you could use some parenting support on an ongoing basis, I've taken the liberty of subscribing you to my blog It's geared toward parents of tweens and teens, but I'm sure you will find many of the parenting tips to be of value to you.
Also, here are a collection of my parenting essays which you might find helpful.
I wish you and your family well, and please, write to me any time you feel the need.
In friendship,
Annie
