description: <div><div>&quot;Proven techniques to help parents raise their son to express his emotions and develop compassionate behavior, and specific strategies that will help boys to navigate through the violent boy culture.&quot;</div><div></div><div>-Michael Gurian, author of <i>The Wonder of Boys</i></div></div><br /><br /><div>&quot;I met Ted Zeff when we both worked with youth in San Francisco 30 years ago. He was a great counselor then and now he is even a greater counselor and writer. His insights into raising young men are what is needed now. Trust me, I have been all over the United States making documentaries for PBS on reducing violence in schools. I implore you to listen to his excellent suggestions to raise compassionate, non-violent boys. He's right on.&quot;</div><div></div><div></div><div>-Mike Pritchard, Host of PBS Documentary <i>Save Our Schools from Hate and Violence</i> and <i>Stepping on Up</i></div><br /><br /><div>&quot;Ted Zeff has provided everyone who cares about kids with an excellent road map to get us closer to a society where our boys become more fully human, more emotionally intelligent. That would mean a world of men better able to protect the planet and the next generation from the kind of emotionally disconnected aggression that threatens us all.&quot;</div><div></div><div>-James Garbarino, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Loyola University Chicago, and author of <i>Lost Boys</i></div><br /><br /><div>&quot;<i>Raise an Emotionally Healthy Boy</i> is a boon for our entire planet. The book provides many original, practical ideas for parents and teachers to help boys grow into compassionate and emotionally healthy men who can transcend male violent behavior. Give a copy to everyone you know who is helping to raise a boy.&quot;</div><div></div><div>-Elaine Aron, Ph.D., author of The Highly Sensitive Child</div>

  Look, this isn’t my dream life.
  
  
  I never planned on being a single mom begging to live with my brother-in-law.

  I can’t say I’ve been very innocent in this either,
  
  
  With rock hard abs and arms the size of pythons,
  
  
  It’s hard not to imagine ripping his tight t-shirt off his tattooed bod.

  I just have to keep my focus so I can get my life back on t
