this is probably the best book I read on raising boys, and made we aware of the double standards and the way we raise boys that are confused on issues. It made me stop and re think what I had done, and what I needed to change

This is essential reading for anyone who lives with, works with, or cares for boys. Teachers, therapists, physicians, parents, and all others who are called upon to nurture boys will benefit from reading this book. Deeply insightful.

This one is on my keeper shelf! So insightful, and yet very readable at the same time. I bought a copy in an airport to read on the plane -- I couldn't put it down the whole time!

I really loved this book. It's old but surprisingly still full of good advice and techniques to strengthen your relationships with your sons. Take the time to read this one. You won't be disappointed.
