[ Augsburger Allgemeine , 1-10-2010 ] Bobingen In the project "cool guys" at the Lawrence Elementary School Bobingen boys learn what it really means "cool "to be: a good conversation, a fair fight. There are a lot of praise from coach Mike Wilson and teacher Peter bulk. This makes self-confident. And self-consciousness is cool. The project of the St. Gregory Youth Aid continues to boys' education.
The reasoning behind this: Little boys want attention, big boys want to be cool. Both rely on strategies such as assertiveness, Power and autonomy. This is "cool" and brings attention. Where can you apply these strategies do not, makes use of some boy to another: make problems. For problem polluters get attention - albeit negative. Social worker Marie Langhammer of the St. Gregory Youth Help states: ". Guys fall through interference, aggression and persistent transgression of rules on average more than girls'
As a youth social worker, she has the violence prevention project" You and I "in the Lawrence Elementary School in Bobingen introduced, which deals with rules of conduct and compliance in the school building and while the breaks went out. This was a conclusion that there are more boys with difficulties. "They're always in a good mood, they are clowns or just plain cool, '" says Rose Marie Langhammer. This finding was supported by the school principal Walter Goers, primary school teacher and social worker Peter bulk Rosemarie Langhammer taken very seriously.
boys are mostly brought up by women
Therefore, a twelve-week project in the area of boys' education carried out, initially funded by the Office for Youth and Family (District Office). So Peter was apparent the first time together with the particularly in boys' education experienced social workers Michael "Mike" Wilson, the project "cool guys" offer: Every week for 90 minutes, ten boys participate in a group of boys.
And because now they have made such good experience, the Lawrence school with Peter Schütt "cool guys" from 8 October continue on their own, occasionally supported by Wilson.
"boys make trouble because they have problems," says Mike Wilson, "especially with their self-image." The development of masculinity, thus appropriating the male role is difficult, because the little boy almost exclusively with women - Mothers, teachers, primary school teachers - has to do. Thus, the role of appropriation made by negation, "is male, what is not feminine."
In the project at the Lawrence Elementary School Bobingen guys learn what it really is to say, "cool" to be. In the discussion may be expressed criticism and problems identified. It must remain to be polite and fair. "The called party must speak out and represent his views," said Peter bulk.
