A Place to Talk for Boys by Elizabeth Jarman (author)

Stimulate boys’ speaking and listening skills by finding the places where they talk best. Research suggests that boys in general prefer more activity than girls, especially outdoor activity. They can be highly competitive, with a keen sense of fairness and hierarchy, and have a more single-minded approach to projects. This exciting book considers the key role that the physical environment plays in boys’ communication skills – influencing how they ask and answer questions, give and receive instructions, listen and much more. Learn how to create surroundings that bring out the best in boys, and give them the perfect place to talk!
