About those meltdowns, blowups, and one-word answers . . .

Some say that's just how boys are--prone to outbursts or sullenness. But what's behind these and other issues? Drawing from twenty-five years of counseling boys and working with parents, David Thomas sheds light on common emotional struggles, including anger, anxiety, and depression, and shares practical ways you can help your son be

Resourceful--equipped to work through his emotions in constructive ways
Aware--so that he better understands himself, including his strengths and weaknesses
Resilient--having the capacity to cope and feel competent
Empathetic--able to understand the feelings and experiences of others

Helpful also for grandparents, teachers, and anyone else who has a boy in their life, this book shows how a strong emotional foundation leads to a Christ-like sense of masculinity that will serve him well his whole life.

"This book is the most impactful, practical, and applicable playbook for raising young men that we have read to date."--TIM and ELISABETH HASSELBECK, ESPN analyst and bestselling author

"David Thomas is someone I go to as a resource when it comes to parenting--especially parenting a boy."--RACHEL CRUZE, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of The Rachel Cruze Show

This book is such an easy read with practical advice on raising sons — I was able to implement new ideas with each chapter as I read along. So attainable and I already see changes in my son’s level of worry and emotions! Thank you!

I’ve read a lot of books this year, but this one jumps to the top as one of the best. It was filled with so many examples (I may have had the thought he’s somehow met and observed my boys)🫣😬. It’s written for raising boys, but has so much practical wisdom for everyone. (And each chapter closes with ideas of application). This is a book that should be read by anyone who interacts with boys (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, coaches, etc). I may have finished reading the book, but it’s one of those I’ll keep coming back to.

I started implementing the things I learned from this book right away. I’ve had several great conversations with my son (and daughters). I came away with a better understanding of boys and men but found a lot of the information on regulating emotions helpful for myself (a woman) as well.

A very insightful book on helping boys navigate life. I missed much of this raising my sons, but hope to apply it with my grandsons. Although much can be applied to any male in your life. Thanks for writing this.
