Product Description:
What are little boys made of? It used to be frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails, but today it is MTV, ADD, and STDs. So how do parents raise their sons to be respectful and responsible young men despite a toxic culture that relentlessly undermines masculine virtues such as moral strength, self-restraint, and respect for women? By letting boys be boys. Dr. Meg Meeker, bestselling author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, follows up her success with Boys Should Be Boys--a guide for parents on how to raise a strong son in these turbulent times. Taking readers on a journey from boyhood to manhood, Boys Should Be Boys delves into the mind, heart, and spirit of boys, showing parents how they can make a difference between the boy their son is and the man he will become. "Boys will be boys"--Dr.Meeker shows why it is not just an expression, it's a necessity.

I have given this book twice as a gift: to my daughter who has three sons, and to a close friend who has five sons. Both recipients said they gained valuable insights and ideas by reading the book. For example, my daughter commented that she found the advice about giving some positive praise to her sons every day a very helpful recommendation not only for her son's self image, but also for her relationship with him. Both women said that they knew some of the information, but it was helpful to be reminded and to be given new ideas for implementing them. From the feedback they have given me, I think any mother who wants to raise good sons would enjoy and find this book helpful. Girls are different from boys, and a mother starts with a "girl" perspective. I wish this book had been around when we raised our son.

I read this book because I have 2 boys. I read as many parenting books about boys as I can get my hands on. I found some useful nuggets of information in this book. However, I found much of it to be common sense stuff. Although I will keep it in my library of books for future reference as my little boys grow older. So far, Raising Cain is my favorite book on raising boys.

Boys Should Be Boys, by Dr Meeker, offers practical, spiritually based advice on raising boys to be healthy, compassionate, self respecting men who treat others with respect and kindness. A good antidote to much anti-male advice floating around, it shows how to harness the good inherant in young men to help them grow into great adults.

Dr. Meg Meeker is the author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters and Epidemic: How Teen Sex is Killing our Kids. She has practiced pediatric and adolescent medicine for twenty years and is a fellow of the National Advisory Board of the Medical Institute.
It's tough being a parent. It's tough being a kid. In our politically charged and politically correct society we now tell ourselves that boys and girls are really the same. And in doing so we silence our strong, boisterous boys and demand they be more submissive and cooperative. We're becoming social engineers. We're attempting to force children into being what they are not nor were they ever meant to be. Our boys are at great risk.
Dr. Meeker says our boys need us, the parents. They need us to embrace and encourage who they are and celebrate it. We must ease their pressures and give them back their boyhood. Meeker says that any boy's life is built around three things: his relationship with his parents, with God, ... Read More
