My boys are 6, 13 and 13 - WOW! I truly appreciate Rick's style of communicating in a fashion that mom's not only will read this book once, but will pick it up again and again for ideas on how to raise their son's. My true hope is to raise my boys to first Love God and second to be confident, positive, respectful men. Rick is open and candid about his own life which add's a sense of authenticity to his writings. You feel as though he truly does understand. He also brings laugther and smiles which is a nice "shift" when the topic can be heavy. My first son lost his father due to violent crime. I am thankful that Rick discusses dangers in our society and statistics - creating awareness but more importantly solutions to break the cycle. Detailed solutions such as learning how to have good character, leaving a spiritual legacy and understanding that self-discipline and boundaries are vital to any relationship. I highly recommend this book as well as the other books Rick has written. I appreciate the understanding that our true Father is in heaven and He is the only one that can complete the hole in the heart that most of us feel at some point in our lives.
I love my son so much but when he became a teenager he changed a lot. I didn't understand what happened to my sweet loving boy. This book help me understand the changes a teen boy goes through as he goes through his teens. This book really help me understand and learn more about my son and the changes taking place in his mind and body. My son and I had so much confrontation but after I read this book I was more able to understand and learn how to coop with his changing self. I really recommend it to all those single moms out there struggling with teenage sons. It's a lot harder when there is no father figure in the house as in my case. Don't give up on your son, read the book and learn to understand his changes. It makes a world of a difference.
This book arrived just in the nick of time for me! My son turned 13 last summer, so I couldnt wait to get my hands on it. As with "Thats My Son" written by the same author, you will find may "ah-ha" moments in this book. This book is geared for moms because the author is not only giving us a male point of view. He is also a christian, he has a son and more importantly a daughter. What better source for us moms to go to than that? He knows exactly what type of man will be worthy of his daughters love, and he shares that with the rest of us.This book is definitely one you will want to read, re-read and even make your own notes and highlights in. Author Rick Johnson braves every topic, even the uncomfortable ones. My favorite chapter in the book is Chapter 10- Building Character For A Lifetime. He boldy reminds us that we are always examples to our children and one wrong decision can leave a mark for life on our impressionable teens.Let's face it. We are all super-mommy's ready to take on the world at any given opportunity to give our boys the greatest chance at life possible. But we are not men. While we want to believe we have all the answers, we simply dont know how it feels to be a teenage boy. Author Rick Johnson, opens his heart, his own life experiences and his God given talent as a writer for just that purpose. If you love your son, you will love this book.
I have really enjoyed reading this book a few chapters at a time. I have applied many of the techniques for communicating with my two teenage sons. It has become a joke around the dinner table about the "next topic" ! It has brought laughter back to our dinner table! I am thankful!
I recently read this book with my 14 year old son in mind. I think this book addresses thoroughly many issues teen boys are facing now. It was helpful for me to read and to understand how I can contribute positively to my teenage son. It did reference his other book, That's My Son, a few times and it would be helpful to have read that previously. I have recommended this to other mom's of teenage sons. A very helpful, insightful read.
I am a mom with 3 boys who will all be teenagers in the near future. I am so glad I found this book right now! After reading this book, I have lots of valuable information to keep in my arsenal as I am trying to raise my boys to become good men. There are great chapters on communication with boys, their emotions, masculinity, and all the other changes boys go through as they mature. Rick also deals with the more touchy subjects like sex, pornography, drugs, and violence. As a mom, I now have the facts that can start the conversations I need to have with my boys now and in the future.I think the greatest impact on my life right now was the chapter on communication. Rick states, "Many boys who are intimidated by their mothers at an early age respond by being physically intimidating to their mothers when they get big enough. A woman's sharp tongue can be just as scary to a male as his dominant physical strength is to her". Boys often show the same respect when they are grown that they were given throughout childhood. One thing I can work on right now to hopefully make a better future for me and my boys!This is one of those books that I will read again and again and probably keep on my nightstand for many years to come!
