Just The "Stuff" I Needed to Know

In today's world... bringing up children can be scary! Is there hope?
Can I raise a godly child? How do I keep them "good"?

This book was just what I needed! With a son who is seven going on eight...

I am looking for some serious HELP!! I only have one boy, but he certainly thinks and acts completely different then my girls. Dannah Gresh covers all things related to boys in her book. Subjects I am not even comfortable talking about (LOL) but obviously need to learn about to be able to relate to this little man I am raising. She talks about our fears as moms, our boy's need to connect, the best age(s) to connect to them. She deals with testosterone, puberty, and how their brains work. The first part of the book is on connecting about how to connect to them, the second part deals with the six ways to keep them "good".

This is a must read for both mom and dad although the book is geared mostly to mom's. Dannah's husband has added quite a few tidbits of information from a man's point of view, and also a friend of hers has added information for those single parent mom's who are doing this alone. I have learned sooo much, I cannot stress enough how valuable this book has been to me.

Dannah Gresh is a bestselling author, a speaker, and the creator of the Secret Keeper Girl live events. Her books include Six Ways to Keep the “Little” in Your Girl, Six Ways to Keep the “Good” in Your Boy, 8 Great Dates for Moms and Daughters, the bestselling And the Bride Wore White, and Lies Young Women Believe (coauthored with Nancy Leigh DeMoss). She and her husband have a son and two daughters and live in Pennsylvania.

*A huge thank you to Harvest House who provided this book for me to review! I am in no way required to give a positive review and these are my honest opinions about this book.*
