Raising men not boys book Loved many of her points and earmarked several of the lists to refer back to Many solid reminders especially the emphasis on building your son s work ethic and how we as mothers cannot expect our boys to be wired liked we are While I appreciated the brevity of the book so I could start applying ideas now there were a few comments she made I wish had detail or examples Paperback Helpful practical short Paperback So glad my sister bought me a copy of this book I will refer back to it often Paperback I felt like the author tried to cover to many topics and therefore hit on each of them only briefly Paperback A must read for every boy mama Paperback I d give it 10 stars if I could Paperback I really wanted to like this book by an author and speaker we hear so much of in our homeschool circles I found I had two issues First not all boys are rambunctious patience testing aggressive boys and the book assumes they all want and need a release for their aggressiveness Some of our sons are soft and loving and like to be inside helping mom and cuddling babies Second there was a constant push to assume all boys will become husbands and automatically leaders and that we can ask our husbands for creative ways to discipline our boys However many men were raised with a belt and the only ideas they have are to take their sons out behind the wood shed However if you re trying to figure out how to handle a very energetic and naturally aggressive boy this book does have good ideas Paperback I want to run out and buy a copy for every mom that I know that has boys This was fantastic helpful so needed in today s society and I can t say enough good things about it Paperback A quick listen packed with practical advice God isn t asking us to raise nice guys He s asking us to raise warriors Will listen to chapter 6 again for sure Paperback Raising three boys homeschooling them is certainly not for the faint at heart I ve read several books about homeschooling motherhood but nothing specifically about raising boys to men I highlighted dogeared so many pages in this book It was excellent I learned so much about my boys I felt encouraged too I will be reading this book annually if not again in 6 months I ll be telling all of my homeschool moms who are raising boys that this book is a must read Paperback
