And perhaps just as interesting and useful, a very good bas. I already told my mom to check it out. And I think the child should have some say in how things are handled as he will most likely have to deal with any fallout, and probably that will happen when there aren't any adults present to provide protection. Filled with relatable, thought-provoking real-life examples of boys' struggles in these areas, why they happen, how they can be avoided and how they can be helped. All these aspects are part of a growing generation of boys who cannot show the world what they want or how they feel.

Parenting using communication and non-violence and awareness of media and social messages is something I am already very familiar with, so these were not particularly personally powerful messages for me from this book.

Older boys pick on younger boys, bigger (stronger) boys pick on smaller (weaker) boys, rich boys pick on poor boys, etc.

A fantastic book written with such compassion.

This is certainly not a how-to manual (which the authors clearly state in the preface that they don't intend to be), and much more of a why-we-have-to. Many reviews are behind a subscriber paywall. "The willingness to try is, itself, the start of a new pattern that can replace the disappointment of emotional distance with a legacy of love." But overall, I didn't learn as much as I was hoping to learn. That finally clicked for me, as to why the book wasn't what I was really looking for. I'm not a parent, so it seems funny to recommend it to them, but - I'd definitely recommend it to parents, teachers, or anyone working with boys.

Depending on the study guide provider (SparkNotes, Shmoop, etc. The stress of this culture phenomenon affects all the boys – even the popular ones who are on top. But instead of constructive preventative suggestions, as the title indicates, what I found was a series of case studies of unhappy boys, an analysis of their problems, and a description of how their problems were fixed by therapy with the authors. Although a bit generalizing in its analysis of father/son relationships and sparse in its coverage of homosexuality, the book offers valuable insight into the world of boys and guides their loved ones to understand the reasoning behind some of their perplexing behaviors. I thought the chapter on father/son relationships was really powerful. Be the first to ask a question about Raising Cain. In Raising Cain, Michael Thompson and collaborator Dan Kindlon, Ph.D., two of the country’s leading child psychologists, share what they have learned in decades of combined experience working with boys and their families. In today’s society, boys are supposed to be tough. We’d love your help. Please see the supplementary resources provided below for other helpful content related to this book. One of the great underlying philosophies of this book is that everyone has an innate desire to be better than what they are, or that their behavior does not reflect who they are but is rather a symptom with an underlying cause. From the rave reviews I was hoping for more. It gave me a couple of things to think about, but mostly, the perspective of the authors is skewered by being counsellors to troubled boys. Okay, let's start with the critical feedback. I have been seeking a book that might help me understand my son better and how to help him grow-up to be an emotionally, psychologically healthy man. With that knowledge, comes the power to make your own prescriptions.
