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.

- Helpful insights on raising sons
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.

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 ... Read More

- An excellent guide to raising happly boys who become healthy and productive men
As the father of three daughters, I really admired Meg Meeker's "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters". Since I also have three sons, I was happy to read her new book "Boys Should Be Boys". Note that her first book had 10 secrets every father should know. This book has 7 secrets to raising healthy sons. I guess boys are simpler creatures.

The main thrust of the book is that boys need to explore, test their limits, and this can often lead to scrapes, bruises, dirty clothes, and even a broken bone or two. However, in our obsession to protect boys from their natural tendencies, we cosset them in a toxic environment of video games, online pseudo relationships, sexual influences from TV, movies, and the Web, and give them everything but our personal time and attention. Then we wonder ... Read More
