Real People, Real Stories (some borrowed from Bowlby)
Dan Kindlon, Ph.D., understands that helping children deal with their emotions is important, but moreover believes that "...the ability to move on..." is equally significant (Kindlon, 2003).

This is the best book I've seen about raising boys. My husband and I both have read every single page -- it's the first parenting book we've ever really read together, and we've talked about all of it.
