Description How do boys develop character? And what can parents, teachers, and society do, from birth to late adolescence, to help nurture admirable qualities in young men? Eli Newberger brings decades of experience and insight to these vital questions.
In a series of riveting stories, he shows boys facing the harsh challenges that forge or break character: cheating, bullying, drugs, alcohol, and competition.
The Men They Will Become delves to the deepest roots of male character and to the sources of attachment, honesty, self-control, sportsmanship, generosity, and courage.
Rather than looking for flaws and vulnerabilities, Dr.
Newberger celebrates all the wonderful qualities that make boys boys.
The need for leaders of bold but non-violent character makes this wise book of urgent and timely importance.
