{"product_id":"boys-adrift-1","title":"Boys Adrift","description":"From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Collapse of Parenting, a powerful explanation why America's sons are falling behind, and what we can do about it\n\nSomething is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, American boys are, on average, less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere twenty years ago. The gender gap in college attendance and graduation rates has widened dramatically. While Emily is working hard at school and getting A's, her brother Justin is goofing off. He's more concerned about getting to the next level in his videogame than about finishing his homework.\n\nIn Boys Adrift, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than twenty years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home. He shows how social, cultural, and biological factors have created an environment that is literally toxic to boys. He also presents practical solutions, sharing strategies which educators have found effective in re-engaging these boys at school, as well as handy tips for parents about everything from homework, to videogames, to medication.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465040829\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0465040829.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sax, Leonard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
