"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." βfrom 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:
β Why is your son struggling in school?
β Why canβt teenage boys find jobs?
β How does our media get away with messages that being a man means being a thug?
β Why are our prisons overflowing with young men?
β 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 β going in depth to reveal the forces aligned against our sons, then offering ten practical, inexpensive, proven solutions for raising healthy sons, starting today.
