What reading level is The Boy Problem in the Home book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even at its best it involves only one type of renunciation — namely, that which is made for the sake of one's friends. Fair play may involve respect, but its most ardent advocate could hardly claim that it involves love, for one's enemies.
We have been contending that this is a self-regarding period. The characteristic of games at this period is their strong tendency toward competition. Competition in play stimulates the desire to be a leader, to excel, and if we can only make the aims of effor...t high enough we can turn this competing instinct to moral uses.
Beginning at about the age of ten and continuing very strongly until at least seventeen, the gang spirit practically takes possession of the boy's leisure time. It not only absorbs his interests, but it adopts a code and becomes an expression of his ideals. Never is the child so sensitive to what others think of him as at this period. But the others whose opin- ion he values are in inverse ratio to their age and wisdom.
