Michael G. Thompson, Ph. D., is a consultant, author, and psychologist who specializes in children and families. He is the supervising psychologist for the Belmont Hill School and has worked in more than seven hundred schools across the United States and in international schools in Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
He and his co-author, Dan Kindlon, wrote the New York Times best-selling book, "Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys." He is the author of "Speaking of Boys: Answers to the Most-Asked Questions about Raising Sons" and co-author (with Catherine O’Neill Grace and Larry Cohen, Ph.D.) of "Best Friends/Worst Enemies: Understanding the Social Lives of Children" and "Mom, They’re Teasing Me: Helping Your Child Solve Social Problems." The Publishers Weekly review of "Best Friends, Worst Enemies" declared, “Not since Dr. Spock and Penelope Leach has there been such a sensitive and practical guide to raising healthy children.” "The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Achieve Success in School and in Life" was written to help parents understand the complex journey of children through school, from Kindergarten through senior year. His third book on the psychology of boys, entitled "It’s a Boy!: Understanding Your Son’s Development from Birth to Eighteen," was published in 2008. It focuses on the importance of undirected, free play in the lives of boys. In 2012, Dr. Thompson published "Homesick and Happy: How Time Away From Parents Can Help a Child Grow."
A dedicated speaker and traveler, Dr. Thompson has appeared on "The Today Show," "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "ABC 20/20," "CBS 60 Minutes," "The Early Show," and "Good Morning America."
