Story3.5 out of 5 stars 43
We medicate, discipline, suspend, and expel our boys from school at quadruple the rate of girls. We let double the number of boys drop out of high school than girls, and of those boys who do graduate, they are far more likely than their sisters to be illiterate, to fail to go to college, or to drop out of college if they do go. Swagger is a wakeup call for parents about the real world our boys inhabit right now, but it offers solutions as well. This audiobook is packed with research-proven, parent-tested, practical solutions.

A must read (hear!) for any parents, hopeful parents, or anybody that simply wants to have a positive impact on the growth and development of our future men. When did reading become "girlie"? And how on earth are we letting the music industry fill our childrens' ears with such negative messages. The thought of removing TV from my house never occured to me, but Lisa elaborates on how TV can have a detrimental effect to childrens' cognitive development. Absolutely loved Lisa's critical lens and her concrete suggestions on how we can make a difference!.
