Boys need and want advice on all kinds of issues, for all kinds of problems, questions, and concerns. Often, they don’t know who or how to ask, and it seems to them that most self-help books are written for girls.

Everything about this book is for and about guys. Graphic-novel-style illustrations engage even reluctant readers. Quotes from real boys, results from a nationwide survey, inspiring stories, facts, and anecdotes keep them interested.

Journaling prompts invite boys to think about each topic and what it means to them—from family life to fitting in, showing emotions, bullies, school, peer pressure, failure, handling anger, and more.

Positive, practical, and affirming, 100 Things is just what boys need in a world of mixed messages on what it means to be male.

By Kari Dunn Buron, author of The Incredible 5-Point Scale.

Kari Dunn Buron has done it again. Building on her popular 5-Point Scale, A 5 Is Against the Law! takes a narrower look at challenging behavior with a particular focus on behaviors that can spell trouble for adolescents and young adults who have difficulty understanding and maintaining social boundaries. Using a direct and simple style with lots of examples and hands-on activities, A 5 Is Against the Law! speaks directly to adolescents and young adults.

The world is becoming more diverse, and so are the daily lives of our children. Accepting and valuing people and groups who are different from oneself and one's immediate family is a critical social skill. This book introduces diversity and related concepts: respecting differences, being inclusive, and appreciating people just the way they are. Includes questions, activities, and games that reinforce the ideas being taught.

(This entire series by Cheri Meiners is a fabulous resource for teaching social understanding to ALL children!)

This is a wonderful resource!  Consider purchasing some to give away to childcare providers, grandparents, teachers, neighbors, or families with a child with ASD. It provides a wonderful way to provide information and/or support to those who need it. Easier (and quicker) to read than the many excellent books on the market, it provides basic information for each letter of the alphabet, along with suggestions for helpful resources. The delightful children in the illustrations were drawn by Carol Gray!

It's a very succinct yet caring resource that would have been very reassuring and informative to me if I had read it soon after getting diagnosed. –Nick Dubin
