Over the past two decades there has been an explosion of new studies that have expanded our knowledge of how boys think and feel. 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. 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 behaviour. The key to changing the culture lies in how parents, teachers and mentors help boys develop socially and emotionally. 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. · 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 “grin and bear it” when they are experiencing physical or emotional pain. 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.

Michael C. Reichert draws on his thirty years of experience researching the process by which boys become men to provide a roadmap for parents and educators who hope to help the boys they love and care about grow into strong, emotionally intelligent, and compassionate men.In this groundbreaking book, a leading psychologist and researcher of the journey from boyhood to manhood reveals the vital role that parents, teachers, coaches and other adult role models can play in creating a "safety net" for boys so that they can develop in positive ways, both emotionally and socially. With the groundbreaking Real Boys in 1998, William Pollack inaugurated a wave of books that challenged age-old conventions about how boys become men. Over the last twenty years, an explosion of new studies has expanded our knowledge about how boys think and feel. Yet parents express more anxiety than ever about raising sons. In recent studies, expecting parents say they prefer having a girl by more than two to one. Parents'' angst reflects both the shifting sands of the female world and the understanding that old paradigms, however they are repackaged or updated, alone will not lead to their sons'' success. A new boyhood is called for--and parents, teachers and others are desperately looking for direction.The New Boyhood provides those who care for young men ages 10-18 with the latest insights from psychology and neuroscience to give us the tools to help build good men.
