These time tested communication strategies help get the best out of boys. The tips for tackling difficult behaviour will result in more classroom co-operation and learning – so that everyone benefits.

Topics include:
- Affirming and channelling boys’ energy, so you can get them on your side
- Improving boys’ emotional literacy, so they gain in confidence and self awareness
- Using boundaries and appropriate discipline to calm classes
- How to encourage boys so they can be at their best
- Getting boys to co-operate without nagging and shouting
- Engaging boys with humour and playfulness
Lucinda Neall specialises in communication skills. She coaches teachers and schools so as to help educate boys to become caring, confident men.
“Will certainly make teachers think, and be alert to what’s different about teaching boys, and how to make this more of a pleasure.” —Steve Biddulph, author of Manhood and Raising Boys
