Raising boys to be good men : a parent's guide to bringing up happy sons in a world filled with toxic masculinity / Aaron Gouveia. by Gouveia, Aaron, author. New York : Skyhorse Publishing, [2020] Subjects Parenting.   Child rearing.   Boys -- Socialization.   Families. ISBN:  9781510749412 (hardcover) : 1510749411 (hardcover) Description:  xix, 183 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  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. It's not only possible to raise boys who aren't emotionally stifled and shoved into stereotypical gender boxes; it's 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 son's painted fingernails (and who knows toxic masculinity very well), learn practical and actionable tips such as: Don't 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 649.132 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 649.132 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 649.132 Gouveia Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library J -- Juvenile, Parent Shelf 649.132 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 649.132 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
