SOLD OUT! Join our TICKET WAIT LIST at parentmap.com/boys.

New York Times bestselling author and teen expert, Rosalind Wiseman presents a call to action; to transform the way we speak to and about boys.

After twenty years of teaching teens and two years of working directly with over 200 middle- and high-school students to write her new book Masterminds & Wingmen, Rosalind Wiseman gives insights into what matters most to boys: their friendships, girls, and their relationships with adults.

Wiseman will pull back the curtain on boy world, the challenges boys face and why they can be so reluctant to ask for help. She'll share how boys and girls social group dynamics influence their interactions and offer step-by-step advice on how to teach young people to treat each other with dignity.

This talk offers common sense suggestions on ways to deal with the most common struggles between boys and their parents -- from video games and social networking to communication breakdowns. Wiseman's presentation establishes a road map for parents, educators, and communities to reach boys and help them grow into the best brothers, friends, students, athletes, boyfriends and sons they can be.
