The acid test is what and to promote boys?

promote boys has since become known that Federal Minister for Family Kristina Köhler will introduce a paper with that same focus, a new hot topic in relation to boys.

article in the world and Tagesspiegel here have also taken care to ensure a wide impact.

Open questions

place for me, after reading the article, however, some questions: Who should be encouraged

? "The" boys there are not - unless you want an answer to the question "Who is worse off and need more support - boys or girls" have.

And why actually encourage boys? Do they have the expectations disappointing performance, success and assertive?

And at last: What should be encouraged?

answers to these questions, I've found so far rare.

My impression is that while boys tend to be less at the center of attention.

it will be interesting to see: Who refers which answers to the question of what is to promote boys to be.

Estimate Cost Retaining Wall

alcohol - both boys and girls

alcohol, and especially its abuse are always a public issue. Keywords like "binge drinking" and "flat rate parties" , drunk at a fixed price for which so much may be as you wish, appear repeatedly. But on what basis is discussed? Which figures are available about the problem? And what does that mean for boys and girls?

Marked increase since 2000

25 700 children and adolescents were treated in Germany in 2008 with acute alcohol poisoning in hospital. That is 11% more than last year. For comparison, in 2000 9.500 cases were recorded.

gender differences show up at the age comparison

More boys and men (64%) are in the age group 15 to 20 years. More girls (53%) in the group of 10 to 15-year-old.

the Federal Statistical Office informs date, girls in both age groups have risen year on year at most. The growth in the 10 to 15-year-old is more serious: In comparison with the previous year 22% more girls to "only" 16% of boys.

increases with age, the boy share

The importance of a differentiated by gender perspective here is, is overlooking the Saxon statistics clearly: are

Alkoholvergiftungen Jungen und Mädchen in Sachsen

While the figures for children are approximately balanced, so stands out: With increasing age there are a total of more cases, and especially boys, to Bottle access.

here should therefore not be asked who is more disadvantaged or what is worse: alcohol poisoning in boys than in girls is a serious problem, a need to find the solutions. This post is to (first) show that it takes a while gender-based approaches.

Meaning Of Banding Wrists

Can women do work with boys?

The question of whether women can make work with boys, is always (Especially women) found. To give an answer, it is a distinction between "boy work" and "boys' education" yourself.

work with boys: No!

the educational field of gender reflective pedagogy working female and male professionals with a sensitive eye for boys and girls (and not on "Children and young people", all of which are "equal" treatment).

Geschlechtsreflektierende Pädagogik | Jungenarbeit | Mädchenarbeit

goal is the boys and girls develop their identity, male or female escort. It is thus education with a conscious attitude towards the growth of boys and girls operated - in short,
The gender socialization is always thought along.

work within this area in the field of young male professionals working with boys. This may have

several objectives: It allows a safe space in the boy with one another can have experiences that are gender-mixed framework difficult. The relation to generation - adult male / young workers in contact with boys - is playing a role. This all happens in the homogeneous space gender.

boys' education: Yes!

by women, therefore by definition can not work with boys be made. Well women can have a sensitive eye for boys and their boys to grow up and follow their development to the man. Their female perspective offers a valuable perspective for boys. Especially when teachers relate as a woman, a clear position (eg What I find attractive in men? What does not? Why?). Go

limits for women in the work with boys

it comes to male identification and authenticity, these two points, the border, make from the women in the work with boys in full. A male role model and the self experienced as a man can experience, a woman Do not move. There clearly needs (more) educators.

Finally: Young Labour and boys' education is a matter of attitude and professional approach to work. Thus, it is only very limited to a biological sex linked and will therefore usually (with limitations) also be made by women.
