Narrative In Favor Of Books Boys Should Be Boys: 7 Secrets to Raising Healthy Sons

In Boys Should Be Boys, one of our most trusted authorities helps parents restore the delights of boyhood and enable today’s boys to become the mature, confident, and thoughtful men of tomorrow. Boys will always be boys–rambunctious, adventurous, and curious, climbing trees, building forts, playing tackle football, and pushing their growing bodies to the limit as part of the rite of passage into manhood. But today our sons face an increasingly hostile world that doesn’t value the high-spirited, magical nature of boys. In a collective call to let our boys be boys, Dr. Meg Meeker explores the secrets to boyhood, including

• why rules and boundaries are crucial–and why boys feel lost without them
• how the outdoors is still the best playground, offering the sense of adventure that only Mother Nature can provide
• the essential ways to preserve a boy’s innocence (and help him grow up)
• the pitfalls moms and dads face when talking to their sons
• why moody and rebellious boys are not normal–and how to address such behavior
• how and when the “big” questions in life should be discussed: why he is here, what his purpose is, and why he is important

Parents are blessed with intuition and heart, but raising sons is a daunting responsibility. This uplifting guide makes the job a little easier.

Appraise About Books Boys Should Be Boys: 7 Secrets to Raising Healthy Sons

A good read about raising boys to be men. Yes, for all those negative reviews that stated the book had conservative undertones, I believe Dr. Meeker was obvious about her intentions. She is looking at the "men" in our society and saying that many of the changes made in raising our boys have not been for the better. She advocates a return to a strong family unit with clearly defined rolls where boys are raised to be men unapologetically. There is very little earth shattering information in this

This book is A MUST READ for anyone who is raising boys! I think Dads should read it too! I got so much out if it that i feel like you need to read the book to really get the important points. But I was reminded that time together is the most important (and to make sure it is happy time), that boys need time to be bored and let their imagination go wild (it reinforced my views on TV and video games and reminded me not to get caught up in comparing with others and not over scheduling), and that a

Notes so long because I dont own the book and want to remember some key points. Great book from the same author of another important parenting book: Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters. These are two books worth reading if you parent or plan on parenting (or grandparent, or mentor) children, boys & girls. While many of the things in these books seem like common sense, I realize that in many places this may not be so. I find the authors honesty and willingness to call some things by their right

This book was quite good and I would like to give it 4.5 stars.The reason it lost 1 starThere are a few places when I think the Author is a little heavy handed with the perils and dangers facing our sons.also I think she puts a little too much emphasis on the differences between boys and girls. There are certainly some real and siginficant differences but really I think 90% of this book is good for parents who have daughters too.And finally this book was very centered on Dads. She has a chapter

I would give this book zero stars if it were possible.This book presents one type of boy and one appropriate way to ensure a healthy upbringing of that one type of boy into one type of adult. It uses statistics to try and support its claims as well as strike fear into parents about the evils of the world that will cause your perfectly stereotypical boy to stray. These statistics though are woefully presented. She talks about increasing rates of alcohol and smoking in boys and then gives

As seems to be the case these days with the wealth of books, I thought this one would have been better served with a more fitting title, such as "Boys to Men," especially since the book did not outline "seven secrets to raising healthy sons." That nit-picking aside, the book was quite straightforward, easy to read, and extremely helpful about boys, their general disposition, and what they most need to mature into wise and compassionate men. Not surprisingly, their needs are simple, they need

I didn't realize until I had finished the book, closed it, and looked back at the cover that I had no idea what the "7 secrets" were. I looked at the table of contents and didn't see a clear list of 7 delineated there, either. Flipped through the book, and still no clue what the 7 were. I think the publisher just added the "7 Secrets" subtitle after the book was written, frankly.That aside, the book was alright. Nothing earth-shattering, but some good principles to keep in mind when raising
