| Summary |
"Your Boy and His Training: A Practical Treatise on Boy-Training" by Edwin Puller is a practical guide written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the complexities of boy-training, focusing on understanding adolescent psychology and the responsibilities of parents and educators. Puller aims to equip parents with the knowledge and tools necessary for nurturing boys into morally sound, responsible young men. The opening of the book outlines the challenges parents face in understanding and training their sons. It argues that many parents view boys as "necessary evils" rather than individuals needing precise guidance, leading to inadequate training and parental soul-stress. Puller emphasizes the need for parents to educate themselves about boy psychology to foster intelligent, compassionate training. He also discusses the different stages of male psychological development, noting that effective training must adapt to these stages in order to provide proper guidance and support through the tumultuous years of adolescence.
