This book also provides numerous tips for parents and educators on how to create a more promising future for our boys and help relieve some of the pressures they face. .

Maggie Hamilton draws on interviews with over 70 experts including doctors’ psychologists, police, and teachers along with interviews with 50 boys themselves to understand the challenges they face. Through the research she has completed in order to write it, she is able to suggest positive and constructive ways to help boys grow into resilient, productive and happy individuals. It is well worth reading and gives educators some practical suggestions to improve boys’ outcomes.
