BOYS HAVE FEELINGS, TOO. Boys’ emotions are too often
overlooked. Told from early childhood to “man up” or assured
they’re “tougher than” any insult or injury, boys have traditionally been socialized in ways that stifle emotional development and, as they grow older, impairs their ability to express their true feelings. Tough Enough To Cry gives counselors and therapists the tools they need to understand and remediate issues that boys deal with in everyday life.
This valuable resource discusses 50 human emotions and appropriate ways to handle each of them.
Tough Enough To Cry includes:
A 10-step format for presenting each of the 50 lessons
My Feelings Have Faces illustrated chart
Three pre-screening charts to help facilitators and teachers
identify feelings that must be addressed
Group counseling topics to be used with the 10 concerns most
common among boys
Emotional profiles to help students in Grades K-2 and 3-6 better
understand their emotions
Daily emotional warm-ups that enable classroom teachers to use
the program
