NikiBnOhio (USA: OH) (2009/04/22):
Based on William Pollack's groundbreaking work at Harvard Medical School for more than two decades, 'Real Boys' explores this generation's "silent crisis": why so many boys are sad, lonely, and confused although they may appear tough, cheerful, and confident. Pollack challenges conventional expectations about manhood and masculinity that encourage parents to treat boys as little men, raising them through a toughening process that drives their true emotions underground. Only when we understand what boys are really experiencing , says Pollack, can parents and teacher help them develop more self-confidence and the emotional savvy they need to deal with the issues such as depression and violence, drugs and alcohol, sexuality and love.
