How am I preparing?

So far I've read all the material/brochres available at the Responsive classroom website http://www.responsiveclassroom.org/ and I am reading the book Raising Cain-Protectiong the Emotional Life of Boys - which my friend Flavia Araripe (English 8 teacher) lent me. This book describes some cultural practices in the upbringing of boys and their consequences to their emotional lives. It explains a lot. It shows you why boys are how they are and I can now understand better how to deal with some typical male behavior.
