Why Talking is only the third choice in the work with boys? And why will the "gold road" to many boys on the body work?
Titled "In the trapped" (pdf) Olaf Jantz has a short, practical articles published on these issues, I would like to describe here.
characterize the notions of masculinity, the body image
over one's body may be young, especially in puberty, show that they are "real" boys and young men. Masculinity will be strongly placed on the presentation of the body's own expression. Just think of beard growth, Muscles, hair style, clothing, (loud) voice, etc. However, hardness (how much my body can withstand?), And eliminate as unmanly body reaction force - as an example here is the wines mentioned.
Work on your own body works on the principle: What does the "right" and therefore "normal" male body and what the boy needs to match this picture? How do grown men around with her body? And how will the male body (if the men are missing in their own environment, or not available) are shown the media? The
own (young) body is therefore always be checked, whether he is also is recognized as masculine enough. If this is successful, that means he is socially accepted and confirmed, and the male identity of the boy is safe.
Only: What happens if this happens?
Little boys, big boys, soft boys, ...
boys, the male ideal (can) account for less have to deal with ambiguities and to provide enormous inner adaptation services - always with the question: "Am I normal A real boy?"
From an educational perspective, is so young to develop a stable, secure and healthy male Identity is a good self-critical reference to her own body. Own physical limitations but also its performance should be experienced. Even feelings of joy, lust, fear, tension, etc. are perceived and integrated.
exercises, games and body-oriented methods to work with boys
recommended as an introduction Jantz "sensitizing Fight" . In order to dock well to the life world of many boys and brings fun into the game.
as "cock fighting" hopping on one leg attempt, the boys each other to bring down.
as "triangle": On the floor is glued a triangle. At each of the sides is a boy and take the other to the hands. Mutual to take the boys. Those who enter only to the triangle has lost. By the tripartite situation sometimes lead good dynamics. Strong boys use their power, others can score with skill.
example, "back to back": how to deal with its own power and the exercise of the power of the Other can be experienced in this exercise. Two boys sit on the floor and try to get up together. Only with the right dose of their own force succeed. Later we can extend the pair and may guide the entire group at once to get up.
An extension of this stand-up exercise is Auto Scooter " If the two boys stood and still stand back to back, they will be asked to ram other couples and they overturn. Coordination is still challenging. At the same time ("ram the other") by reference to a third thing made a young typical offer is not in the vicinity of the own partners directly addressed.
massages, fancy trips and trust exercises can later be connected to it. These exercises Jantz also describes in his article. Point I want it nor the fact that these exercises require a very high confidence in the group (and quickly tilt, if it is injured). Furthermore, one should always work in pairs as head of group processes well keep in view and be able to secure.
