In his upcoming book How To Raise a Boy, author Dr. Michael Reichert discusses the ways boys are socialized—at home, in schools, and in their communities. In it, he asks (and later answers) these questions:
- What can be done to ameliorate the losses of boyhood?
- How can we protect the boys in our care from threats built into boyhood?
- How can we ensure that our sons are well prepared for and well launched to manhood?
- How does masculinity train our boys?
- How do we connect with our sons?
Read an excerpt of Dr. Michael Reichert’s book, How To Raise a Boy, here on GMP.
