Self-Help Relationships
Raising thriving, emotionally healthy sons does not require
a man around the house! That's the conclusion of a
groundbreaking research study that will open eyes, stir
debate, and reassure nearly 10 million single
mothers.
As the number of single-mom and two-mom
households has grown, so have concerns about the possible
damage to boys caused by the lack of a male role model in
the house. Peggy F. Drexler, Ph.D., listened to all the dire
warnings; but her training as a research psychologist told
her she had to see the evidence. So she embarked on a
long-term study comparing boys raised in female-headed
families with those whose fathers were present throughout
their childhood. What Dr. Drexler discovered is as
heartening as it is startling:
o Female-headed households
may be even better parents for boys than households with
men
o Sons from these families are growing up emotionally
stronger, more empathetic, and more well-rounded than boys
from "traditional" mother-father families
o While more in
touch with their feelings, these boys remain boyish and
masculine in all the ways defined by our culture
Raising
Boys Without Men offers an inclusive vision of what family
can mean and a blueprint for raising happier, healthier sons.
