"From birth to late adolescence, The Men They Will Become delves to the deepest roots of male character. A baby boy, says the author, has traits but no character. As he grows, particular characteristics - attachment, honesty, self-control, sportsmanship, generosity, courage - are either nurtured or thwarted. Intrinsic biological drives combine with styles of parenting as well as gender-polarizing forces in the culture to create either the admirable qualities we all admire or those we deplore and fear."--BOOK JACKET. "Rather than looking for flaws and vulnerabilities, or trying to make boys more like girls, Newberger celebrates the differences, the wonderful qualities that make boys boys, and shows us how to nurture and encourage them."--BOOK JACKET.

Maria Trozzi, with Kathy Massimini

"As much as we'd like to, we can't shield our children from loss. But we can provide them with consolation, comfort, and constructive ways to deal with life's sorrows--encouraging both strength and sensitivity and preventing the problems that can arise when feelings are denied or remain unresolved. We can help children bounce back from loss due to the death of a beloved family member, a divorce, the disabling of a sibling or parent, or saying "goodbye" to a faithful pet--if only we know how. Through captivating stories and thoughtful analysis, Maria Trozzi explains how to handle the difficult job of talking with children and adolescents about loss. Book jacket."--Jacket.
