Product Description
This is a challenging time for boys and those of us who teach, parent, and mentor boys. Once we might have said to children, "If you pay close attention to what I teach you, you'll learn what you need to know." Today, we are acutely aware that we don't know all the answers that children will need, or even the questions they will ask.
When Barry MacDonald speaks about boys' struggles at home and in school, the auditoriums are packed with parents and educators who know that simplistic answers don't work. Boys on Target includes the voices of parents and teachers who want to make a positive difference for the next generation. Drawing on Barry's twenty-five years of experience as an educator, counsellor, and international advocate for boys, Boys on Target provides practical and compassionate wisdom that can help us see boys' challenges anew.
Whether you are a parent or teacher or an adult involved with mentoring boys in some other capacity, you will find the thoughtful, indepth discussions in this book enlightening and deeply nourishing.

The Early Years Perspective,
By
This review is from: Boys on Target: Raising Boys into Men of Courage and Compassion (Paperback)
As an Early Intervention Consultant for families of preschool children with developmental delays & disabilities, I was challenged to find a quick reference book pertaining to gender-related parenting/development questions. Once I started reading this I couldn't help but reflect back to my early parenting days.As a parent to a boy, followed by a girl, I applied the little knowledge of parenting I had acquired through imitation, education, and did my best. However, I could have avoided some difficulties & had better insight into parenting the 'individual' child had I read a book like this during those formative years. As well, being the grandmother of 3 boys; a 6 yr.old and 3 yr. old twins, pushed me to become even more enlightened about this topic. I've been sharing tidbits from the book with my daughter and son-in-law, as one can imagine their personal reading time is fairly limited. I like to have personal knowledge of the books I recommend to others, and this is one for sure! The easy-read, quick snip-its of information make this a delightful book to refer to. Topics like how boys communicate and sibling rivalry caught my attention. In my opinion, this is a great resource for parents, grandparents and professionals.
