About the Author Michael C.
Featuring the latest insights from psychology and neuroscience, How to Raise a Boy will help those who care for young boys and teenagers Build a boyhood that will enable them to grow into confident, accomplished and kind men.
Helping them develop strong connections with teachers, coaches, and other role models Encouraging them to talk about their feelings about the opposite sex and stressing the importance of respecting women Letting them know that they don\'t have to "be a man" or "suck it up," when they are experiencing physical or emotional pain.
Reichert offers readers step-by-step guidance in doing just this by: Listening and observing, without judgment, so that boys know they\'re being heard.
The key to changing the culture lies in how parents, educators, and mentors help boys develop socially and emotionally.
Reichert explains how the paradigms about boys needing to be stoic and "man like" can actually cause them to shut down, leading to anger, isolation, and disrespectful or even destructive behaviors.
In How to Raise a Boy, psychologist Michael Reichert draws on his decades of research to challenge age-old conventions about how boys become men.
