Description

An impactful and honest guide to raising happy, healthy boys who can grow up to be compassionate, resilient men We need to have a conversation about boys. There has never been a more important time to consider how we are raising the men of the future. This is an invitation for parents of boys, as well as anyone who cares about the young males in their lives. Parents of daughters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, teachers, community leaders; this is a discussion that we all need to participate in. Whether we are expecting a baby boy, parenting young men, or are simply interested in effecting positive change, many of us are asking how we can raise boys who challenge the status quo and are empowered to stand up for what is right. Confronting toxic masculinity and delving into the hot-button issues affecting boys today, from education to sexism, power to consent, and mental health, Raising Boys Who Do Better looks at bringing up boys in the era of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. This book is an absolute must-read for those who want to help nurture the boys in their lives to grow up into compassionate, kind, healthy and successful men.
