Brookline, April 12, 2016. Author Michael Thompson, co-author of Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Lives of Boys, is also a psychologist specializing in children and families. He will share what he has learned in decades of experience working with boys and their families – a nation of boys who are hurting—sad, afraid, angry, and silent. Hear about the forces threatening boys, teaching them to believe that “cool” equals macho strength and stoicism, and the destructive emotional training they receive, and how parents can help boys cultivate emotional awareness and empathy need to navigate the social pressures of youth. He has also co- authored The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Achieve Success in School and Life
