LOST BOYS Why Our Sons Turn Violent and How We Can Save Them

Hardback. 2nd printing. In the light of several school-based shootings, it is clear no matter where we live or how hard we try as parents, chances are that our children are going to school with troubled boys capable of getting guns and pulling the trigger. Beyond the deaths and injuries resulting from this phenomenon are the staggering psychological costs - children afraid to go to school, teachers afraid of their students and parents who fear for their children's lives. The author, a national expert who has worked with many such children, reveals how to identify those at risk and offers proven methods to prevent aggressive behaviour. He outlines the steps that parents, teachers and public officials can take to keep all children safer and turn the kids away from violence before its too late. Includes illustrative cases and interviews conducted with children in prison. With Appendix, References and Index. 274pp. 8vo. h/back.
