Dave's Thoughts

"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!"

Publisher's Notes

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.

You Will Learn:

  • Why the most important factor in shaping your son’s behavior isn’t “peer pressure” —it’s you
  • How to preserve your son’s innocence (and why it’s essential to help him grow up)
  • Why boys need less, not more—whether it’s computer games, organized sports, or lessons
  • How to talk to your son—the pitfalls that moms and dads face
  • Why it’s not normal for teenage boys to be moody and rebellious
  • Why teaching your son about virtue isn’t an option, it’s a necessity

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.
