Book: New. No Jacket. NEW. 4to - over 9¾' - 12' tall. Shipping weight 495 (grams).
JUST FOR BOYS is a group program that addresses the societal pressures on boys to conform to a rigid and traditional definition of masculinity and the health risks this poses to boys. It is based upon a belief that such risks are coping mechanisms boys develop in order to deal with the personal and societal stressors in their lives. 'Just For Boys' helps them build resilience and teaches them skills so that they can deal with these stressors in a healthy way. It does this by helping boys develop a strong sense-of-self and learn emotional literacy, anger management and communication skills. It broadens the definition of what it means to be male and helps boys create a life of balance and interconnectedness that includes making a positive contribution to their families and to their communities. The 'Just for Boys' program can be used with boys in different stages of adolescence. The groups are designed to be facilitated by men and by women with varied personal experiences and professional orientations. The interconnected sections can be used to implement a complete program or used separately in classroom situations as part of a curriculum or used to enhance existing programs. The program manual includes everything you need to know about starting and facilitating effective groups for boys. It contains the blueprint for the program including the rationale, expected learning outcomes and learning activities that address issues of importance to boys. The framework is based upon contemporary theories of brain sex and of male development, the interplay of biology with culture, and the impact of socialization on boys. The background information on the risks that boys face concentrates on substance abuse (including steroids and sports supplements), depression, eating disorders, body image disturbances and muscle dysmorphia. The manual contains 24 reproducible handouts, including an introductory letter to parents and evaluation form. There is an extensive up-to-date bibliography, and a list of resources such as books, programs and websites that will help enhance your own understanding and practice.

Friedman, Sandra Susan When Girls Feel Fat: Helping Girls Through Adolescence
Trade Paper: 2000 HarperCollins Ltd., Toronto, ON, Canada 2nd ed: revised 0006386091 / 9780006386094
Book: New. No Jacket. NEW. Shipping weight 305 (grams).
'When Girls Feel Fat' helps parents and their daughters to understand and cope with the difficult process of adolescence. This friendly guide demystifies the relationships that girls have with body image, friends, parents, sexuality, eating disorders, school and the media. It explains that feeling fat provides a key to opening discussion about what happens to girls growing up female in a male world - a process that puts tremendous pressure on girls to grow up to be ‘perfect,’ to be accepted by others and still remain true to themselves. Through case notes from her private practice and discussion groups, and feedback from her JUST FOR GIRLS programs, the author draws upon a wealth of useful experiences and coping techniques. 'When Girls Feel Fat' gives parents, teachers and professionals who work with girls empathetic, clear, and proven strategies to deal with adolescent conflict, to recognize that worries about weight can lead to serious eating disorders, to maintain a connection in the face of girls ‘tuning out,’ and to cope with the grungies - Sandra’s term for the voice of girls’ self-deprecating negative feelings.
