Synopsis

Research tells us that globally, on average, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day. This staggering statistic indicates that many men suffer from hopelessness and despair. Parents may detect warning signs of hopelessness in their sons who regularly exhibit behaviors such as meltdowns, outbursts, and terse one-word answers. How can we help raise our sons to handle difficult emotions and process complex ideas of masculinity? 

Drawing from 25 years of counseling boys and working with parents, David Thomas explains what's behind these and other common struggles such as anger issues, anxiety, and depression. In all, parents will be equipped to raise emotionally strong and healthy boys who will grow up to be rooted in practices of well-being that will serve them their whole lives.   

Strong and Smart:
This engaging workbook provides boys with the opportunity to learn the foundational skills to be set on a biblical path of masculinity that differs from unhealthy or even toxic masculinity. Together with their parents, boys will foster emotional intelligence by learning healthy, constructive ways to express their emotions.
