Publisher Description

A practical guide to understanding the way, the mind, and the heart of a boy.

A boy’s endless imagination, hunger for adventure, and passionate spirit are matched only by his deep desire to be affirmed, esteemed, and loved.

Yet over the past few decades, our culture has adopted a model of parenting and educating children that doesn’t affirm, celebrate, nurture, or embrace a boy’s wildness but rather seeks to tame it. As a result, many moms and dads find themselves frustrated, confused, and wearied by their sons’ behavior.

The truth is, boys don’t need to be tamed—they need to be understood, loved, challenged, and encouraged.

Based on clinical research and filled with practical tips and suggestions, therapists Stephen James and David Thomas Stephen James and David Thomas give fresh insight and much-needed encouragement on the road to raising boys by talking about:

• Parenting the different stages in a boy’s life
• Healthy discipline and correction
• Sitting still and paying attention
• Hot topics like screen time and dating

Wild Things helps Christian parents, teachers, mentors, and coaches understand and explore the hearts, minds, and ways of boys and the vital role parents and caregivers play on the journey to authentic manhood.

Great book!

This is a great book about raising boys as nature made them, not as our society expects the to be. It's been really helpful to us as parents.
