Customer Reviews

Mothers and Sons Jean Lush

I'm a grandparent of three boys under ten years of age. Wish this book was on the market when I raised my own son. This book is a valuable tool in raising and shaping boys to be productive, emotionally healthy and confident men. The book outlines safe boundaries for Mom's as they impact their son's lives everyday. And, excellent info for Mom's as they too grow into the role of motherhood. Cram packed with great advice, view points and pertinent info.

VERY INFORMATIVE , EXCELLENT RESOURCE

I AM A SINGLE MOM OF A 9 YEAR OLD AND THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN FOR ME SPECIFICALLY I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU AND I KNOW THAT THIS BOOK HAS HELPED ME MAKE SOME VERY GOOD CHANGES IN MY AND MY SON LIFE THANK YOU ASIA

A good begining

This is a very good book for moms of boys. The authors are not politically correct--thank goodness for straight answers on difficult topics such as erections and masturbation...,however, I do not think they deal completely enough with masturbation regarding teenagers. They raise it as a problem and do not really offer a solution. For that I have found "Every Young Man's Battle" an invaluable resource. That books is mainly for older boys, so I reccomend both books for a complete picture.

Wonderful Book - that doesn't pull punches

Covered very difficult topics without giving a hoot about political correctness. I was terrified of the thoughts of raising a son alone. I knew that being too passive and tender a mom could do as much damage as being too strong and masuline a mom. This book clarified many things in my gut - and explained "what was wrong" with the things I had seen other single mothers do that I didn't agree with but couldn't explain why. Understanding why is the key.I especially liked the Spiritual side of this book. With Society conflicting with Christian Biblical teachings, its nice to have some issues addressed without politics. such as sexual development, homosexuality, proper punishment methods and the psychological impact of improperly applied parenting.

There's hope!

Coming from a family of all girls, and having two girls before a son, it's wonderful to realize he's just a boy(not an alien)
