The article is on a longitudinal intervention implemented in British Columbia. The focus of the intervention was nine adolescent boys identified to have behavioral needs. The purpose of the intervention was to equip the boys with social-emotional skills. The intervention was proposed after it was identified that society has neglected the boy child and concentrated on the empowerment of girls at the expense of boys (Kwiatkowski, 2019). The majorities of the boys were identified to suffer in silence, and consequentially had several challenges that are unique to them. Based on the analysis of the intervention, parents and the community should devote equal time and listen to the male gender and assist them in wading through psychological trauma they suffer as part of their growing up.
I chose the topic of assisting male children learners after Identifying that a lot of emphases is placed in the empowering of the girl child in an attempt to restore the harm done on the girl child. Affirmative action is encouraged, there is a need to ensure that growth and development happen to all gender by ensuring that empowerment happens to all. The topic is in line with my professional as it touches on the use of education in empowering both the boy child and the girl child. The topic supports my future goal of ensuring that both male and female learners are exposed to a wholesome education that not only caters for their academic growth but also their wholesome development.
