FEEDBACK ON THE BOOK:
“Talk to Your Boys is a game-changing guide that tackles one of the most pressing challenges of parenting today: how to talk with boys about the things that matter most. Talk to Your Boys makes it clear that connecting with the boys in our lives is not only possible, but essential. This book is required reading for anyone who cares about raising boys to thrive emotionally, build strong relationships, and grow into healthy, whole adults.”
—Lisa Damour, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers
“Talk to Your Boys is an essential guide to the new conversations parents must have with their sons to help them remain connected, compassionate, and clear-headed in a world that tells them (over and over) that ‘real men’ are the opposite. Take a deep breath. Dive in. This is the book you’ve been waiting for.”
—Peggy Orenstein, bestselling author of Boys & Sex and Girls & Sex
