A FINE YOUNG MAN
: What Parents, Mentors and Educators Can Do to Shape Adolescent Boys into Exceptional Men
Book Description
As boys
enter the second decade of their lives, they are confronted with
tremendous challenges at home, at school, and in personal
relationships. In a phenomenon long overlooked by the media and
policy makers, adolescent boys are the most at-risk group in our
society today, facing the highest incidence of addiction,
violence, mental illness, and emotional neglect. Building on his
pioneering work in The Wonder of Boys, Michael Gurian now
explores the misunderstood life of the '90s male adolescent,
providing parents and mentors with eye-opening and practical
wisdom. Gurian answers tough questions about the changes boys
face, focusing on new understandings of the hidden biology of
the adolescent male; the development of emotional structure and
social adaptation; the changing emotional safety within the
family unit; necessary rites of passage; and the critical
shifting in the attitude of society, educators, and the media in
order to nurture adolescent boys into loving, wise, and
responsible men. Giving us the tools to better nurture,
discipline, and cultivate our adolescent males, Gurian delivers
the most responsible and enlightening assessment of young
manhood in our time. |

FROM BOYS TO MEN:
All About Adolescence And You
Book Description
When it
comes to puberty, boys don't ask their friends (who are as
clueless as they are) and they won't ask their parents. So where
can they turn to Michael Gurian's straightforward guide that
answers the questions on every boy's mind. Why am I growing
so much more slowly than my friends? Why do girls seem so
different? Why do I suddenly care? Face it, adolescence can
be awfully confusing. But help is only a turn of the page away
with this reassuring, no-holds-barred book by the best-selling
author of The Wonder of Boys that examines and explains the
biological, physical, and emotional changes that make puberty so
bewildering—and so exciting. |

THE WONDER OF GIRLS: Understanding the Hidden Nature of Our Daughters
Book Description
Michael
Gurian, whose national bestseller The Wonder of Boys
presented a radical and enlightening view of parenting sons, now
offers a groundbreaking approach to raising daughters.
In The Wonder of Girls, Gurian, himself the father of two
girls, provides crucial information for fully understanding the
basic nature of girls: up-to-date scientific research on female
biology, hormones, and brain development and how they shape
girls' interests, behavior, and relationships.
He also offers insight into a culture mired in competition
between traditionalism and feminism and a new vision that
provides for the equal status of girls and women yet
acknowledges their nature as complex and distinct from men. He
explains what is "normal" for girls each year from birth to age
20; what developmental needs girls face in each stage; how to
communicate effectively with girls; and how to cope with
developmental crises such as early sexuality, eating disorders,
parental divorce, and more.
