Boys Who Feel

Your son is not a problem to be solved.

Somewhere between the playground and the school gate, most boys learn a quiet lesson: some feelings are allowed, and some are not. By twelve, a lot of boys are working with a vocabulary of three feelings — fine, angry, and tired.

Boys Who Feel is a practical kitchen-table guide for parents of boys ages 4–17. No psychology degree required, no weekly family meetings — just 11 simple exercises, 60 conversation starters, and 4 fridge-ready printables, each designed to fit into ten minutes in the car, at the sink, or on the walk to school.

This guide isn't about making your son softer. It's about making him wider — a boy who can name what's happening inside him, ask for help, settle an argument without his fists, keep a friend through a rough patch, and one day love someone well.

What's Inside

• The 4-Skill Framework — Name It, Feel It, Say It, Share It — built in the order boys actually learn them
• 11 step-by-step exercises, from The Feelings Weather Report (ages 4–11) to The Friendship Check (ages 10–17)
• 60 conversation starters, sorted by age band (4–7, 8–11, 12–15, 16+)
• "Say This, Not That" — 14 small swaps that keep the boundary and drop the shame
• Hard Moments cheat sheets — what to say (and not say) when he explodes, shuts down, or cries
• A 4-week plan to put it all to work, one skill at a time
• 4 printables to stick on the fridge, including the Word Bank and the Calm-Down Toolbox

Look Inside — Full Contents

All sales are final, so here is the complete contents list before you spend anything. Nothing is held back and nothing is abridged.

• The Four Skills. Name It, Feel It, Say It, Share It — what each one is, why they're taught in that order, and how to work out which one your son is stuck on.
• The Exercises. Eleven of them, each tagged with an age range from 4 to 17. They open with The Feelings Weather Report for younger boys and run through to The Friendship Check for the 10–17 band.
• The Conversation Starters. Sixty questions, grouped into four age bands: 4–7, 8–11, 12–15, and 16+.
• Say This, Not That. Fourteen swaps — the sentence most parents reach for, the sentence that works better, and why the difference matters.
• Hard Moments. Cheat sheets for the three situations parents ask about most: when he explodes, when he shuts down, and when he cries.
• The 4-Week Plan. One skill per week, with the exercises assigned to each week so you're never guessing what to do next.
• The Printables. Four fridge-ready sheets, including the Word Bank and the Calm-Down Toolbox.
