Raising Better Boys.

Canada, Geoffrey

Educational Leadership, v57 n4 p14-17 Dec 1999-Jan 2000

The author of "Reaching Up For Manhood" discusses troubling social/environmental conditions confronting boys. Raising better boys requires caring adults, safer risk-taking situations, positive reinforcement, and role models. Parents should monitor boys' media exposure, provide moral education, broaden their cultural and natural-world experiences, and know their friends. (MLH)
