BOYS ADRIFT by Leonard Sax Read by Allan Robertson - Audiobook Excerpt by HachetteAudio published on 2017-07-31T15:16:32Z A must-read for any parent of boys. -------- Something scary is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, American boys are, on average, less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere two decades ago. The gender gap in college attendance and graduation rates has widened dramatically. While Emily is working hard at school and getting her brother Justin is goofing off. He's more concerned about getting to the next level in his videogame than about finishing his homework. Now, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than twenty years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home. He shows how social, cultural, and biological factors have created an environment toxic to boys. He also presents practical solutions, sharing strategies that educators have found effective in re-engaging boys at school, as well as handy tips for parents about everything from homework and videogames to medication. Revised and updated throughout, this new edition of Boys Adrift points us toward a brighter future for America sons. -------- Available Now from Hachette Audio as a digital download, Hardcover, Paperback, and E-book from Basic Books.
