Dr. Michael C. Reichert On How To Raise A Boy

Book cover - How to Raise A Boy

“How can we ensure that our sons are well-prepared and well-launched to manhood?” In the new book, "How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Raise Good Men," Michael Reichert, uses this fundamental question as a foundation to what we know and what we are missing when it comes to raising our sons.

Dr. Reichert guides readers through decades of research and practical applications toward a new understanding of what boyhood should be and how we, as parents and educators, can prepare boys to be good men.

Parents and educators have a unique opportunity to shift the cultural conversation and create a new paradigm for what it means to raise a boy – one who is kind, respectful, and fundamentally good, rather than the models of abuse, violence, and havoc that seem to dominate the airwaves today.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
