Description

What happens to our “good little boys” when they hit middle school?  The tween and teen years are a challenging season full of changes for the parents of boys. Although parenting can never be whittled down to “easy steps”, Bob and Dannah Gresh share 6 guiding principles that can make parenting this stage more manageable. These steps are designed to connect your son to his parents and to the heart of God.

The Greshes don’t shy away from the hot topics of the day, including the impact of video games, sexual maturation, pornography, and learning to relate to the opposite sex. The authors are writing primarily to mothers whose boys have involved fathers, but they also graciously include separate commentary for moms who are parenting without the child’s father.  Also included is a short section on parenting a boy with ADD or ADHD.

If you have a boy that is quickly turning into a young man, this book will prepare you for the avalanche of changes coming your way! ~Tara

Note: Relatively explicit descriptions of sexuality.
