This book will be a definite re-read for me. It was full of practical and specific things that I can and should do to help my son become a man of character. Some were common sense (eg: “Pick your battles when disciplining.”) and others were things that as a woman, I hadn’t really thought about (eg: “Rough-housing is essential. It’s good for boys to risk getting hurt sometimes.”). The book had a whole chapter devoted to sex education, and another one that described 11 character traits that moms should work on developing in their sons. This was an easy read, full of stories and examples, and I know it will help me to be a better mother to my son.
