Sinopsis

Dr. Anthony Rao passionately argues that ever-increasing numbers of boys are being treated and medicated for problems they simply don't have. In this practical and accessible guide to the distinct challenges of raising young boys into good men, Dr. Rao urges parents, educators, pediatricians, psychologists, and other developmental experts to re-evaluate and radically alter how we deal with our youngest boys. This book offers a clear-eyed examination of the cultural and psychological factors that have created our current approach to rearing young boys. It shows that often, what seems to be a developmental setback is really just 'the storm before the calm,' a temporary lapse in previously acquired skills that precedes a major cognitive leap forward and teaches how to parent sons with respect for their natural development right from the start, which gives them the best shot at growing into confident and healthy men ready to make their unique contributions to the world.
