What Parents, Mentors, and Educators Can Do to Shape Boys into Exceptional Men
In this insightful and practical book, Michael Gurian describes what boys need to become strong, responsible, caring men. Instead of encouraging us to stifle boys' natural propensities for competition and aggression, Gurian offers effective and useful guidelines for properly channeling them. He shows how the evils boys are susceptible to, such as gang activity, sexual misconduct, and crime, become outlets when positive role models and adult support are not available. Most important, Gurian explains what a boy really needs - a primary and extended family, relationships with mentors, and intense support from his school and community. In this edition of his parenting classic, Gurian considers how the culture has changed in the ten years since The Wonder of Boys was first published, including the impact of the Internet.
