Publisher's summary

About those meltdowns, blowups, and one-word answers . . .

Some say that's just how boys are—prone to outbursts or sullenness. But what's behind these and other issues? Drawing from twenty-five years of counseling boys and working with parents, David Thomas sheds light on common emotional struggles, including anger, anxiety, and depression, and shares practical ways you can help your son be

Resourceful—equipped to work through his emotions in constructive ways

Aware—so that he better understands himself, including his strengths and weaknesses

Resilient—having the capacity to cope and feel competent

Empathetic—able to understand the feelings and experiences of others

Helpful also for grandparents, teachers, and anyone else who has a boy in their life, this book shows how a strong emotional foundation leads to a Christ-like sense of masculinity that will serve him well his whole life.

Most recommended parenting book for boys!

I can’t tell enough people about David Thomas and this book. It’s practical yet explains the why, it’s readable and even enjoyable. The audio version read by the author is engaging and easy to listen to.

Just what we needed

This is a must read for any parents, caregivers, teachers, grandparents or coaches of boys. I cannot recommend this enough for how to help boys understand their emotions and gain much needed skills for living in today’s high tech and high stakes world.

Amazing on many levels

I absolutely loved this book - really wish I'd discovered it earlier on my parenting journey as a mom of 2 boys. The author offers practical tools that are simple yet very effective on the daily basis. We started practicing regulation with my eldest, and on my word what a difference it made to both of us!
This is a must read for all parents, not just the boys' parents. It has just the right amount of scripture references and discussion not to feel overwhelming. Absolute gem that I'm now recommending to all my friends and family.
