Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys by Michael Thompson, Dan Kindlon
5.0
This was by far the most phenomenal book I have read in a long time. It was written by two psychologists who have predominantly worked with adolescent boys throughout their careers. The book talks about the male experience in every capacity. The authors explore the emotional side of boys, addiction, sexuality, aggression and how these things impact their lives at home, in school and in therapy. They use examples from their practice to illustrate their points throughout the book. It really makes you think of the assumptions we make about boys and men, and is a must-read for anyone who is raising a boy or working with one. I could read the last chapter over and over again. This is the kind of book that you wish every teacher who works with your son would have to read before starting the school year. Amazing book!
