About this listen

What are little boys made of? It used to be frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails, but today it is MTV, ADD, and STDs. So how do parents raise their sons to be respectful and responsible young men in a toxic culture that relentlessly undermines masculine virtues such as moral strength, self-restraint, and respect for women? By letting boys be boys.

Dr. Meg Meeker, best-selling author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, follows up on her success with Boys Should Be Boys, a guide for parents on how to raise a strong son in these turbulent times. Taking listeners on a journey from boyhood to manhood, Boys Should be Boys delves into the mind, heart, and spirit of boys, showing parents how they can make a difference between the boy their son is and the man he will become.

So thankful that I’m listening to this!

I’m so thankful that I’m listening to this book while my son is only 2 and my daughter is only 5. What an evil world we live in today! Lots of challenges ahead for us parents....but my husband and I feel that we are a bit better prepared after listening to this book.

Useful and educational

Great insight. Teaches basic principles as well as new ideas and ways of approaching your children. Eye opening stats on the effects of violence, pornography, and technology on children and their minds.

My Wife and I both benefited

Our 5yr old boy has been challenging his Kindergarten teacher. He is bright and learns quickly but is very rambunctous. Instinctually I knew that he was just being "a boy" but it was nice to get some confirmation. This book taught me that it's not just that "Boys will be Boys" but as the title says, "Boys Should Be Boys". And I just need to fight for him as well as shape him!!

Great Book! I would hightly recommend to any Mom and Dad of boys

Couldn’t Wait to Listen

Just overall so good about a boy becoming a man. And what a father needs to understand about raising a son and children in general. I would listen again and plan to do so. I would sit in my driveway after getting home from work. Just to hear 5 more minutes. Loved It!

All parents (especially boy parents) should read!

Boys are maligned and mistreated in today’s feminist and Information Age society. This book provides loving tips and ways to give young men outlets for freedom! A strong society can only flourish with strong men, so this book is more necessary today than ever.

Lots of helpful advice

This book was a little heavy on God for my tastes. However, the book did make some very good points and gave me a lot to think about.
