From video games to the Internet, technology and popular culture are having a
profound effect on today’s boys. Boys need guidance more than ever. How can
we help them do better in school? How can we keep the lines of communication
open?
Raising Boys in a New Kind of World is a passionate call for greater
empathy. The more we know about boys, the more realistic our expectations of
them will be. We need to stop seeing normal boy behaviour as a problem and learn
to understand a boy’s need for movement, his unique learning styles, and his
personal methods of communicating.
Michael Reist writes from the front lines. As a classroom teacher for more
than 30 years and the father of three boys, he has seen first-hand the effects
that changes in modern culture are having on boys. Raising Boys in a New
Kind of World is an inspiring and entertaining collection of positive,
practical advice on many topics, including discipline, homework, video games,
and bullying, and provides numerous tips on how to communicate with boys.
