Raising
Boys to Be Healthy Men
March 4, 2012
 Based on stereotypes, people perceive
boys as stronger and less vulnerable than girls. “Boys,”we
say, “are tough!”But the truth is that boys are vulnerable,
and they face some heightened health risks compared
to girls. Three times more boys than girls are killed
each day, and countless more are injured. Despite these
risks to boys, parents are often less concerned about
the safety of their sons than of their daughters. Join
Nurse Rona and Dr. Will Courtenay,
"the
Men's Doc" and author of Dying
to Be Men, as they discuss how parents can
raise boys to become healthy men.
