Description
“[A]n eloquent, brave, big-hearted book…in regards to the timeless anxieties and emotions of parenthood, and the brand new twists thereon.”
—James Fallows, The Atlantic
Love That Boy is a uniquely personal story in regards to the causes and costs of outsized parental expectations. What we wish for our youngsters—popularity, normalcy, fulfillment, genius—and what they in point of fact need—grit, empathy, character—are explored by National Journal’s Ron Fournier, who weaves his unusual journey to acceptance across the up to date research on childhood development and stories of different loving-but-struggling parents.
