A preliminary glance at the title of this piece may leave you scoffing at the disrespectful notion of talking to boys like animals, but take a closer look. The author, a clinical psychologist, presents a compelling case for how often we talk to our animals in loving and tolerant tones, yet our children don’t regularly receive the same. It’s an interesting lens through which to view how we talk–and how we listen– to young boys. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/10/well/family/whos-a-good-boy.html
