My Thoughts:
As a Mom of one boy, and a Nana of six boys; BOY, do I need help! We are so different, and yet... I do believe he needs me. I want to be his encourager, his support, and his comfort. I want to build his character and teach him to be a godly man. This book has provided alot of insight into areas I need to work on. Things I need to keep doing, or change in how I work with him. It has opened my eyes to areas I need to understand about him, how he thinks or feels differently than me. I have had many "aha" moments that clicked and the light bulb came on. I know there are many books out there with advice. Sometimes it can be overload. Usually on these types of books, I tend to take it slowly and try to digest the information rather than swallow it whole. I want to be the best mom I can possibly be with God's help to my son. I want to help him grow into the man God wants him to be. This book will be a keeper on my shelf for a while.
Your Thoughts:
Are you raising boys? How are they different or alike to you? Do you have any good tips on things you have done to keep the doors open as they get older?

It sounds like the book could be quite a good source of comfort knowing that what your currently experiencing with bringing up boys is only natural and what most other parents are dealing with, having two boys this book sounds really interesting.
