Renowned marriage and family counselor Michael Gurian collaborates with Christian psychologist Gregory Jantz to understand why so many boys are struggling and how Christian and faith-based parents can protect their sons. The authors agree that boys are under a great deal of stress in today’s world, and they have collaborated from their different perspectives (one secular and science-based and one Christian and Bible-based) to build a powerful resource to help Christian parents raise resilient, loving, and wise boys.
Covering the important topics of boys' lives, including their emotional development, character building, school and home life, maternal and paternal nurturance, gender differences, and rites of passage, the book equips parents to design a boyhood that will help their sons grow into successful men. Parents and educators will gain valuable information about differences in nature, nurture, and culture between boys and girls. The authors also include an insightful chapter on the role of modern technology in a boy’s upbringing and how parents can manage, without completely restricting, its influence on their son’s life.
