Boys, A Rescue Plan E-BOOK

Perhaps in no previous time has it become more obvious that boys are struggling. Their mental health challenges have become severe. Boys are behind girls in education and maturation. Screen time and social media have become an affliction. Many of our sons grow up courting violence. Many others live in quiet desperation. While arguments about the politics of masculinity abound, there is little help today for parents, schools, and communities to raise, educate, and nurture boys as males. In fact, our post-modern cultures have tried to erase "male" from the conversation. Boys, A Rescue Plan goes against this grain by providing a template for raising our sons into loving, wise, and successful adult males.

Since Michael Gurian's publication of The Wonder of Boys in 1996, grass roots programs have blossomed to serve as models for what works to help young males. Features of many of these programs join with Sean Kullman's work on statistics, graphics, and analytic tools to provide readers with practical strategies for social change in communities. The structure of the book also makes it useful to high school and college classrooms that study child and adult development. An emotional and epic journey through the issues boys face and the solutions proven to help them, Boys, A Rescue Plan is a powerful and profound read for parents, citizens, legislators, and anyone involved in the care of our sons.
