Christopher Pepper, an award-winning health educator, and Joanna Schroeder, a journalist and mother of teenage sons, spoke with more than 80 boys to understand what they're up against and what they need from the adults in their lives. Their new book offers 16 essential conversations to help raise emotionally intelligent, confident, compassionate young men before the world teaches them not to be. It's called Talk to Your Boys: 16 Conversations to Help Tweens and Teens Grow into Confident, Caring Young Men.
