In this easy-to-read parenting book, counselors James and Thomas explore
what exactly it is that makes boys who they are and how best to parent
them. They break down boyhood into 5 stages and explore the
distinguishing characteristics of each stage from many standpoints - a
boy's neurology & physiology, a boy's emotions, cognitive
development, and spiritual life (yes, this book is written by Christian
authors from a Christian perspective). As parents of boys themselves,
the authors sprinkled hilarious stories from their own families and
practices to illustrate their points and to remind other parents that
their "wild things" are, in fact, normal. Above all, the book is
intensely practical and discusses everything from rites of passage to
discipline to ADD to masturbation. As a mom of three boys, I cannot
recommend this book enough.
