What is the boy crisis? It's a crisis of education. For the first time in American history, our sons will have less education than their dads. It's a crisis of mental health. As boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women. It's a crisis of sexuality. Sex is a minefield for our sons. They're bombarded with mixed messages, afraid of being either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

For practical applications
This book is by far the best parenting book I have read. Many parenting books talk about why children behave and talk in certain ways without recommendations on what to do. This book is full of practical applications. I put ticket only liked various demonstrations of how things typically go versus what we could do differently. I would recommend this book to anyone who are struggling as to how to talk to their kids.

Better ways of parenting
This book amazed me with more better ways of wording everything better I already do most of the stuff they said in the book with my 2 yr old daughter and it works so much better this book taught me more ways of expressing my feelings towards how my daughter acts and explaining why it makes me feel the way I feel at that moment 10/10 recommend

Need more
It cut off suddenly in the end. Did they run out of tape.
A final chapter with a summery or something is defiantly missing. But it was still good.
It gave you something to think about. But it feels very unfinished. More like a podcast I paid for then a book.

great refresher!
I love this book. The comics help a lot. I know the scenarios all too well, and the conversations are so helpful as examples. It's also a short and sweet version of their other books How To TalK So Kids Will Listen.

These lessons apply to children and adults.
Key takeaways are to acknowledge others feelings (even if irrational) you can’t use adult logic and reasoning with young children. They haven’t developed this skill yet. Then set clear boundaries and be consistent at upholding them. Consistent feedback is key. They also highlight the importance of being calm, clear and non-judge mental. More like a coach or mentor rather than authority figure. You want to aim for mutual understanding and to help your kids self regulate. Not just compliance.
