Boys Adrift

Book Review

When my son was a few months old I stumbled across a book by Dr. Leonard Sax called Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men. I picked up the book out of curiosity and ending up reading the entire book in a few days. The book covers changes in the way children are taught, video games, medications for ADHD, endocrine disruptors, and the importance of male role models. I found the information on bisphenol A and phthalates immensely helpful. Check out page 105 which has a section titled “Bottled Water, Pacifiers, and Baby Bottles.” You can buy the book on Amazon (www.amazon.com)
