Interview - Dr. Leonard Sax
What in the world has happened to boys since 1970? Fully 1/3 of young men, age 22-34 are still living at home with parents, amounting to a 100% increase over just 20 years. There are 20 times more boys on psychotropic medication than twenty years ago, and the average boy spends 13 hours per week in computer game play. How many hours were we playing "Pong" back in 1978, or Monopoly in 1968?
Boys are in trouble, and unless parents begin making different choices now, the problem is bound to get worse in the next 10-20 years. Here, Dr. Leonard Sax, author of a critical new book, "Boys Adrift," discusses the five factors that drive the growing epidemic of unmotivated boys and underachieving young men.
