"If you want to raise a boy that you'll be proud of, read Boys Should Be Boys. Dr. Meg Meeker has some serious insight in her new book, like leading by example when it comes to working hard, respecting women, and being a generous giver.
"With a son about to graduate high school, I can only hope that Sharon and I have raised him right. I’ve poured every ounce of wisdom I learned into my son. If this book were available when I was raising him, it would have kept me from learning a lot of lessons the hard way!"
Boyhood used to be a time of freedom and fun—of catching bullfrogs, playing tackle football, and roaming the woods—but not anymore. Rambunctious, high-spirited boys—healthy boys—nowadays face an increasingly hostile world that doesn’t value the unique gifts of boys, that discounts their masculine virtues and undermines what boys need to become mature, confident, and thoughtful men. In Boys Should Be Boys, Dr. Meg Meeker, pediatrician and author of the critically acclaimed Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, unlocks the secrets of what parents can do to restore some of the magic of boyhood and help their son become the man they want him to be.
Full of practical advice and examples from her own medical practice of more than 20 years, Dr. Meeker reminds moms and dads that there is no greater blessing—and no greater responsibility—than raising healthy, strong young men.
Dr. Meg Meeker issues a call to arms for anyone concerned about the character and healthy development of boys. Filled with inspirational vignettes and a stern warning against overexposure to a toxic pop culture, Boys Should Be Boys empowers parents to stay involved and protect their sons' innocence. It's a wonderfully written and eye-opening book—a must read. Neil Bernstein, Ph.D. author of There When He Needs You: How to Be an Available, Involved, and Emotionally Connected Father to Your Son
Meg Meeker's new book, Boys Should Be Boys, once again demonstrates that the most important element in wisdom is common sense. Dr. Meeker provides insight, information and, ultimately, inspiration. Michael Medved nationally syndicated talk radio host
