He urges parents, educators and others to re-evaluate how we deal with young boys. In reaction to the current debate on the over-use of psychological disorder diagnoses, Dr. Rao clarifies what is normal boy behavior and development, giving parents the tools for how to best advocate for their sons in both academic and social situations.
