 | Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms Are Creating The Next Generation of Exceptional Men
Drexler, Peggy & Gross, Linden
As the number of single-mom and two-mom households has grown, so have concerns about the possible damage to boys caused by the lack of a male role model in the house. Peggy F. Drexler, Ph.D., listened to all the dire warnings; but her training as a research psychologist told her she had to see the evidence. So she embarked on a long-term study comparing boys raised in female-headed families with those whose fathers were present throughout their childhood. What Dr. Drexler discovered is as heartening as it is startling:Female-headed households may be even better parents for boys than households with menSons from these families are growing up emotionally stronger, more empathetic, and more well-rounded than boys from "traditional" mother-father familiesWhile more in touch with their feelings, these boys remain boyish and masculine in all the ways defined by our culture.
Raising Boys Without Men offers an inclusive vision of what family can mean and a blueprint for raising happier, healthier sons. (Rodale)
