Description



Book Synopsis



Boys will be boys . . . It's time we stopped trying to "fix" them.

Boys today are being bombarded with a slew of diagnoses--ADHD, Asperger's, bipolar disorder--at an alarming rate and at younger ages. The Way of Boys urges parents, educators, pediatricians, psychologists, and other developmental experts to reevaluate and significantly change how we deal with our youngest boys. When parents understand the wide spectrum for normal boy development, they can successfully communicate with their son--and everyone in their son's life--and help him grow into a healthy and smart young man.

Dr. Anthony Rao challenges some of the potentially harmful assumptions, attitudes, and behaviors we've developed toward young boyhood over the last few decades. The Way of Boys is a celebration of natural, constructive boyhood development and an expert, definitive handbook on what to look for and expect in normal growth.



Review Quotes




"Rao deftly admonishes quick fix psychiatrists and anxious parents to more patiently deal with children's growth and problems even if their youngsters are not developing at the speed of light...Rao's practical book...is filled with case by case examples of children trying to find their way." -- Global Province: The Martketplace of Ideas

"Parents are often overhwhelmed when struggling with the behavior of growing boys. Dr. Anthony Rao provides the kind of customized wisdom that comes from decades of clinical practice and--most important--success for boys at home and at school. This book is an invaluable contribution for those families in need." -- Jerome Groopman, MD, Racanati professor, Harvard Medical School; author of How Doctors Think

"This book offers clear understanding of the various and varied ways boys grow and develop into healthy, well-adjusted adults. Many of the modern obstacles to this development--and the parental confusion they cause--fall away after one reads Dr. Rao's compassionate, specific, problem-solving book." -- Michael Gurian, author of The Purpose of Boys
