Good stuff. Dr. Michael Thompson is author of the book Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Lives of Boys. I'm glad they discuss what fathers can do to help their sons mature in more healthy ways.

The Art of Manliness Podcast #22: Raising Cain With Dr. Michael Thompson

by Brett on May 10, 2010

Welcome back to another edition of The Art of Manliness Podcast! Statistics show that American boys are in trouble. They’re more likely to have depression, abuse alcohol and drugs, and perform poorly in school. What can we do to help these troubled boys? To get some answers we talk to Dr. Michael Thompson, author of the book Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Lives of Boys. Dr. Thompson is a psychologist specializing in boys, and he’s a clinical consultant at The Belmont Hill School, an all boys school in Massachusetts.

Dr. Thompson and I discuss the emotional problems boys face, what dads can do to help boys develop a solid emotional toolkit, and what we can do to help boys perform to their potential in school.
