“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
–Frederick Douglass
Family counselor Michael Gurian, noted for his expertise in brain science, collaborates with Christian psychologist Dr. Gregory Jantz to help parents understand why so many boys are struggling and how parents can protect their son from being just one of the statistics in Raising Boys by Design: What the Bible and Brain Science Reveal About What Your Sons Need to Thrive (WaterBrook Press; Sept. 17, 2013).
In a culture that is questioning the very designation of gender, the authors boldly declare that boys have distinct needs–God-designed needs–that must be addressed and appreciated if they are to flourish into adulthood. Boys are under a great deal of stress in today’s world, and this book offers a resource to parents in how to raise boys to be both strong and loving.
This guide from a brain science expert and a Christian psychologist equips parents to design a boyhood that will help their sons grow into the successful men God meant them to be. Parents and educators will gain valuable information to help them understand the differences between brains and biochemistry of boys and girls and discover how to integrate scientific information into a biblical framework as they create and execute an effective parenting plan for boys. Notably, the authors include an insightful chapter on the role of modern technology in a boy’s upbringing and how parents can manage, without completely restricting, its influence on their son’s life.
