Parenting Package for Boys:

HELPING YOUR SON GROW TO HEALTHY ADULTHOOD


CD: RAISING AND EDUCATING BOYS (55 minutes).  In this lecture CD, Michael Gurian helps parents, teachers and everyone who is helping boys.  In this humorous, informational and practical audio program, Therapist Gurian provides insight into the nature of boys, and practical advice on how to build families and schools that will be most successful in raising and educating our sons.


BOOK:  WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING: HOW A MAN'S MIND REALLY WORKS (278 pages).  Have you ever wondered what is happening inside the minds of boys and men?  Why do they seem to want to live life as a quest?  Why do they often seem to think, feel, relate, and communicate differently than girls and women.  Most importantly, how does understanding these differences impact relationships, marriage, and parenting?  Combining research from neuro-biology with anecdotes from his family therapy practice, Michael Gurian explores the minds of boys and men.



BOOK: THE WONDER OF CHILDREN: NURTURING THE SOULS OF OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS  (227 pages, including a Reading Group Guide).  In this passionate and inspiring book, social philosopher Michael Gurian provides insight into an often overlooked part of children's lives.  Children are "hard-wired" for spiritual life, he claims, proving his claim in research taken from the field of neuro-biology and neuro-psychiatry, and with references to all of the world's major religions.



BOOK:  FROM BOYS TO MEN:  ALL ABOUT ADOLESCENCE AND YOU (86 pages).  Therapist and parent Michael Gurian wrote this book specifically for boys from ten up.  It includes illustrations by cartoonist Brian Floca.  The book covers topics of importance in male puberty, adolescence and growing up.  It is often best for a mom or a dad to read it quickly through before giving it to a son (the big print makes it a quick read for adults, and easy read for young people). 




Each complete package is $89.95 (DOES NOT include S & H). Please email for ordering information.



Parenting Package for Girls:

HELPING YOUR DAUGHTER GROW TO HEALTHY ADULTHOOD


CD: RAISING AND EDUCATING GIRLS (55 minutes).  In this Lecture CD, Michael Gurian helps parents, teachers and everyone who is helping girls.  In this humorous, informational and practical audio program, Therapist Gurian provides insight into the nature of girls, and practical advice on how to build families and schools that will be most successful in raising and educating our daughters.



BOOK: THE WONDER OF GIRLS:  UNDERSTANDING THE HIDDEN NATURE OF OUR DAUGHTERS (295 pages).  In this very practical book, family therapist Michael Gurian helps parents and caregivers get to know their daughters from both the neuro-biological (nature) and sociological (nurture) perspective.  Gurian provides insight and strategies for handling everyday issues (self-confidence building, how to handle backtalk) and intense, even traumatic issues (anorexia, depression).  Girls' development is covered in four stages (birth to five, six to ten, eleven to fifteen, and sixteen to twenty--and beyond).



BOOK:  THE WONDER OF CHILDREN: NURTURING THE SOULS OF OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS  (227 pages, including a Reading Group Guide).  In this passionate and inspiring book, social philosopher Michael Gurian provides insight into an often overlooked part of children's lives.  Children are "hard-wired" for spiritual life, he claims, proving his claim in research taken from the field of neuro-biology and neuro-psychiatry, and with references to all of the world's major religions.



BOOK:  UNDERSTANDING GUYS: A GUIDE FOR TEENAGE GIRLS  (87 pages).  Therapist and parent Michael Gurian wrote this book specifically for girls thirteen and up.  It includes illustrations by cartoonist Brian Floca.  The book answers questions adolescent girls have asked Gurian about boys and relationships over the last decade.  A great deal gets covered:  from changing hormones (in both girls and boys) to how much teasing is too much and how to handle anger and other feelings in relationships.  As with all books of this kind, parental guidance is suggested.




Each complete package is $89.95 (DOES NOT include S & H). Please email for ordering information.
