According to H.P. Lovecraft, "THE OLDEST and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their admitted truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary for...m." Arnold Lobel further illustrates: "Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good warm feeling.

PACKAGING BOYHOOD
How Parents Can Help Boys Resist Negative Stereotypes From Marketers And The Media
A Presentation and Book Signing by Award Winning Authors Lyn Mikel Brown, and Mark Tappan
Boys are besieged by images and messages from marketers and the media that encourage slacking over studying; competition over teamwo...rk; power over empowerment; and being cool over being oneself. In Packaging Boyhood, we scrutinize cartoons, videogames, movies, and more for stereotypes that marketers and the media sell boys about what it means to be a boy. We also offer advice to parents about how to talk with their sons about these troubling images, and provide parents with tools to help their sons resist these messages and have more choice about how to live their lives.
Advance Praise for Packaging Boyhood:
“If you read one book this year about how to be a better parent to your son, then it must be Packaging Boyhood. Unlike other parenting or ‘boys books,’ it reveals that boys do not naturally or biologically like violent images, don’t have to do poorly at school; but rather that a bath of hurtful media images are overtaking them – and that you can help save them, teaching them methods for resisting this gender mediocrity so they can grow into the unique, successful young men they truly wish to become!”- William S. Pollack, Ph.D., bestselling author of Real Boys: Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood
