Description
Advance gender equality one family at a time.
Pediatrician and mother of four, Dr. Shelly Flais, offers parents the tools they need to begin the lifelong process of raising their boys into men who are mentally healthy, empathetic, and committed to gender equality. In Nurturing Boys to Be Better Men, Dr. Flais provides concrete techniques for parents to push back against cultural stereotypes and toxic masculinity as they nurture their sons. Since "kids do as they see," the work of being role models for gender equality starts in the home.
Dr. Flais elucidates developmentally appropriate opportunities for growth and awareness of gender equality at every age, from before birth through early adulthood. This conversation-starter highlights the benefits of gender equality for boys and girls, as well as men and women. It discusses these topics not only in the context of the immediate family but also extends to the larger family dynamic, school environment, and the greater community.
