"There is a great deal we as parents can do at little or no
cost to give our boys the advantages they need right now to
jack up their odds of finishing high school, going to
college, and leading a decent, free life in which they can
not only support a family but also contribute to their
communities. Because parenting can't wait. Our boys are
growing up now, in conditions they did not create, and they
deserve more than an adulthood defined by illiteracy,
poverty, and reporting to a parole officer. Swagger will
show you how." —from the Introduction
In her fresh
and frank New York Times best-seller, Think, Lisa Bloom
issued a wake-up call to women all across the country,
challenging the very notion of their place in today's
ever-changing society. Now, in her thought-provoking
follow-up, Swagger, she turns the tables on her male
counterparts, with a startling look at teenage boys and the
culture in which they are growing up, and asks the following
questions:
— Why is your son struggling in
school? — Why can’t teenage boys find jobs? — How does
our media get away with messages that being a man means
being a thug? — Why are our prisons overflowing with
young men? — And most importantly: how can we protect our
boys, and give them the bright future they
deserve?
New York Times bestselling author, attorney,
and mother Lisa Bloom answers these questions in her
passionate, no-nonsense style. Swagger is a wake-up call for
parents -- and anyone who cares about boys – going in depth
to reveal the forces aligned against our sons, then offering
ten practical, inexpensive, proven solutions for raising
healthy sons, starting today.
