Jump-Starting Boys: List of Media Attention!

Wow, what response my co-author (and older sister) Cynthia Gill (see photos of us, young and old; me on the left in the top photo, me on the right in the bottom photo) and I are getting from our just-off-the-press book for parents and educators: Jump-Starting Boys. Here’s a list of media interviews: up already, or coming soon (TBA = to be announced). Also, Jump-Starting Boys is now an audiobook and an e-book: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=jump-starting+boys&sprefix=jump-st%2Cdigital-text%2C256

“I’m also reading Pam Withers and Cynthia Gill’s Jump-Starting Boys: Help Your Reluctant Learner Find Success in School and Life. Busy parents (I feel your pain!) will appreciate the format of this book that offers a positive spin on the issues that boys face: chapters are divided by useful subheadings and offer brief tips that can be implemented right away, along with quick-fire background (“Symptoms,” “How Common,” “Potential Causes”) on what parents need to know on a particular topic. Material on helping boys with physical issues, in school, and on such issues as mentoring and role models is topped off with useful lists of publishers of books for reluctant readers.”
