Tuesdays, January 12 & 19, 7-8:30 PM

Relationships, valuing emotions, and building social connections are important to healthy development. Join Dr. Esther Barkat, TJ psychologist, to discuss ideas from the book How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men by Dr. Michael C. Reichert. Reichert says, “The paradigms about boys needing to be stoic and manly can actually cause them to shut down. The key to changing the culture lies in how parents, educators, and mentors help boys develop socially and emotionally.” In his book, he gives step by step guidance.

(From book description:) Featuring the latest insights from psychology and neuroscience, How to Raise a Boy will help those who care for young boys and teenagers build a boyhood that will enable them to grow into confident, accomplished and kind men.

Our Wellness book idea list includes titles referred to in the January 12 session.
