Описание: If you are the parent of a boy . . . this is the book you need . . . insightful, enlightened, practical. --Peggy Orenstein, author of Boys & Sex

From the dad who created the viral tweet supporting his son wearing nail polish, this essential parenting guide shares 38 parenting tips for battling gender norms, bringing down man up culture, and helping sons realize their potential.

Our boys are in a crisis. Toxic masculinity and tough guy-ism are on display daily from our leaders, and we see anger, dysfunction, violence, and depression in young men who are suffocated by harmful social codes. Our young sons are told to stop throwing like a girl. They hear phrases like man up when they cry. They are told boys will be boys when they behave badly. The Girl Power movement has encouraged women to be whoever and do whatever they want, but that sentiment is not often extended to boys. Just watch the bullying when boys try ballet, paint their fingernails, or play with a doll.

But we can treat this problem--and the power lies in the hands of parents. Its not only possible to raise boys who arent emotionally stifled and shoved into stereotypical gender boxes; its vital if we want a generation of men who can express their emotions, respect women, and help nurse society back to a halfway healthy place. We can reframe manhood. From Aaron Gouveia, who gained viral fame after tweeting his support for his sons painted fingernails (and who knows toxic masculinity very well), learn practical and actionable tips such as:

Dont accept different standards for moms and dads
Teach boys that girl is not an insult and retire phrases like boys will be boys
Show boys that expressing their emotions and being physical is a good thing
Let boys pursue nontraditional interests and hobbies
Talk to boys about consent and privilege
Model healthy and respectful relationships for boys to emulate

Penned with equal parts humor, biting snark, and lived advice, Raising Boys to Be Good Men is the essential parenting guide for raising sons to realize their potential outside the box.
