A timely and empowering book featuring “solid, practical advice for women on how to properly nurture their sons” (Kirkus Reviews).
Boys today face unique challenges and pressures, and the burden on mothers to guide their children through them can feel overwhelming. Calling upon over thirty years of experience as a pediatrician and a mother of four, Meg Meeker, M.D., shares the secrets that every mother needs to know in order to strengthen—or rebuild—her relationship with her son, including:
• the crucial role mothers play in teaching their sons to respect women as they grow up
• the importance of conveying the values of hard work, community service, and a well-developed inner life
• the natural traps mothers of boys often fall into—and how to avoid them
• the key to raising sons without emotional baggage and limitations
• the best ways to survive the moments when the going gets tough and a mom’s natural ways of communicating—talking, analyzing, exploring—only fuel the fire
By providing encouragement, education, and essential advice, this empowering book offers a road map to help mothers find the strength and confidence to raise extraordinary sons—so that they will become the men they are meant to be.
