Features: I imagine a world where boys are excellent students at school, actively participate in family life, and are responsible members of their community. In this world, boys are strong and powerful but also polite and caring. They can not only cope with the status quo but also surpass others, and not only surpass others but also live harmoniously with others to improve our society. This is a rare and bold parenting book that faces reality. Paul Keiser works in the Oakland Men's Initiative Center in the United States, where he engages in education and training. In the book, he guides parents to discuss topics such as violence, drugs, relationships, death, and politics with boys in the right and positive ways. This is a novel topic and concept. There are some differences in the upbringing and education of boys and girls in our country. But it is precisely this difference that better shapes individuals and fosters the psychological qualities of boys. Starting with an understanding of gender differences, the book first proposes suggestions on thinking methods, helping readers learn how to practice with boys and how not to hinder them from getting what they need due to adult issues (such as gender-based educational biases). The second step guides boys to learn how to take care of themselves physically and emotionally, and to face disabilities, violence, drugs, guns, and crime correctly. The third step helps boys build intimate, respectful, and harmonious relationships with men and women outside their parents (including both sexual and non-sexual relationships). The fourth step cultivates leadership skills in young people, encouraging boys to actively participate in social activities. How to Raise a Man provides in-depth analysis and discussion of the various issues boys may encounter during their growth. In today's rapidly developing China, learning and American parenting methods and approaches will greatly benefit Chinese parents.
