Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys

Join Wonders on March 3rd, 2025 at 7:00 pm for a special evening of learning and discussion with Dr. Michael Thompson, who will be discussing his New York Times best-selling book, Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys. Dr. Michael Thompson is a consultant, author, and psychologist specializing in children and families. The presentation will explore the compelling case that emotional literacy is the most valuable gift we can offer our sons, urging parents to recognize the price boys pay when we hold them to an impossible standard of manhood. Dr. Thompson’s work identifies the social and emotional challenges that boys encounter in school and shows how parents can help boys cultivate emotional awareness and empathy–giving them the vital connections and support they need to navigate the social pressures of youth.
