ABSTRACT
All young men may need help in learning to deal with their emotionality and communicate their feelings; however, very intelligent boys especially need appropriate outlets for expressing their feelings because of their advanced psychological development. Many talented boys experience an abundance of emotional energy, sensitivity, and strong compassion for others. Fathers who want to help their sons develop into emotionally healthy young men need ways to help them create home environments where father and son conversations are authentic and their sons feel comfortable expressing their emotions. Some dads will readily admit they have always wanted to start a collection or begin photography as a hobby but haven’t taken the time to explore the possibilities. Others confess that they have been wanting to learn rollerblading but haven’t found the courage. Fathers may want to consider sharing new sports or hobbies with their sons.
