DVD: Boys In Crisis: Why It Matters and What You Can Do About It
PERFECT FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS, $99 for DVD OR $195 for a school to copy for parents in one building.
It's time to pay attention to the emotional and social life of boys!
The Boys in Crisis DVD contains four modules that address the unique challenges boys face-and provide practical solutions for changing the lives of boys for the better. Packed with data, case studies, resources, and insights, this unique tool is designed for the people who have the best chance of bringing about positive change:
- Module 1: Boys Are Wired Differently - 24 minutes
- Module 2: The Boy Code - 19 minutes
- Module 3: Voices - 21 minutes
- Module 4: The Media - 19 minutes
Boys are far more likely to be:
- Referred to the school office for discipline
- Behind in reading and writing skills
- Suspended from school
- Placed in special education
- Held back from the next grade level
- Perpetrators of crimes
For society at large, this disparity "results in boys being unfulfilled as men who are disconnected emotionally and responsibly from their families, communities, and workplaces," according to Boys in Crisis author Dr. Paul Slocumb.
Based on the book,
Hear Our Cry: Boys in Crisis.
