Publisher's Synopsis
Lo que no te dice tu hijo ofrece una mirada poco común a la vida privada de los adolescentes: un mundo caracterizado por la soledad y el miedo a los compañeros; un mundo en el que dar la talla como hombre significa ajustarse a un código de ser siempre un tipo duro, no mostrar nunca debilidad y no expresar nunca los verdaderos sentimientos. Demasiados chicos sienten la presión constante de tener que demostrar su valor en las aulas, en los campos de juego y sobre todo, entre sus amigos. En lo más profundo de su ser, necesitan el apoyo, la conexión de su familia y anhelan ser aceptados por sus compañeros. Cada capítulo de este libro imprescindible, está repleto de historias de la vida real y correos electrónicos de chicos adolescentes que darán a los padres una nueva comprensión de lo que sus hijos no les dicen.
What Your Son Isn't Telling You provides a rare look at the private lives of teen boys--a world characterized by loneliness and peer fear; one in which measuring up as a man means conforming to a code of always being a tough guy, never showing weakness, and never expressing true feelings. Too many boys feel the constant pressure to prove themselves in classrooms, on playing fields, and especially among their friends. Deep inside they hunger for family support and connection--and long to be accepted by their peers. Each chapter of this must-read book is packed with real-life stories and emails from teen boys that will give parents a new understanding of what their sons aren't telling them.
