Synopsis In this guide to raising sons, therapist Michael Gurian offers concerned parents a plan for introducing a young boy to moral values such as respect, responsibility, and honesty. He defines three stages of a boy's life--"The Age of Obedience," "The Age of Convention," and "The Age of Moral Intuition"--and describes the intellectual, emotional, and moral development that should occur during each phase. In addition to coping strategies for parents whose sons exhibit bad behavior and case studies, Gurian provides Indian and African myths that convey good principles to boys.
