[quote=Anonymous]OP, most of these posts are from women, so take what they say with a grain of salt as they know nothing about what it is like to be a boy. 
First, don't blame yourself. Guys in the US have become puzzified over the last 20+ years. It is worse among kids not playing sports and it is far worse in urban areas

Second, forget about these stupid books and role playing garbage.

Third, your kids need to mentally overcome this fear now, as this will likely lead to other issues down the road. This is what happens when boys are treated like girls. I like what the counselor said above about kids wrestling with their father, but that is just a start. I think anything with physical contact will help. It doesn't necessarily have to be tae Kwon do or karate because sparring is so light that nobody really takes much damage. Wrestling or football would be great. Some conflict among kids can be really healthy. For example, punching someone in the face is a good way to build self esteem and set boundaries in certain situations.[/quote]
