Book Description
The author of two groundbreaking bestsellers introduces a
comprehensive cradle-to-college parenting program for raising
ethical sons.
In his eagerly awaited new book, therapist and educator
Michael Gurian presents the definitive guide to the moral
development of our boys and young men. He takes readers
through a complete parenting program, showing them how to
instill virtues in boys at each of the three stages of life:
The Age of Obedience (birth to six); The Age of Convention
(seven to twelve); and The Age of Moral Intuition (thirteen
to eighteen).
The Good Son also addresses "moral
emergency" questions on how to cope with stealing,
violence, and other forms of severe misbehavior. In addition,
Gurian furnishes a list of the fifty top books and films that
will help stimulate moral growth in boys and young men.
For parents and teachers who fear that our society has lost
much of its moral and ethical underpinnings, The Good Son
serves as a welcome guidepost. It is destined to become one
of the premier books on parenting and moral life.
