The Wonder of Boys: What Parents, Mentors, and Educators Can Do to Shape Boys into Exceptional Men
About this audiobook
What can parents, mentors, and educators do to shape boys into exceptional men? Michael Gurian, a respected therapist, storyteller, and recognized expert in family systems, explains the basic needs of every boy: a primary and extended family, a relationship with mother, father, and mentors, and support from his community. He also tells how to satisfy a boy’s desire for his own sense of tribe and initiation through healthy, structured competition, discipline, and work coupled with moral and spiritual values. Gurian’s training videos for parents and volunteers are used by the Big Brothers and Big Sisters agencies throughout North America.
