A must read if you have boys
As a mom and a female, there's just a lot that I don't fully understand about being a little boy. I have 3 boys 6 and under, and feel like this book is invaluable to helping me understand them and how to support them in who they are. Grateful for David Thomas's voice in this space as we navigate raising emotionally strong boys.

Amazing!!!
I cannot recommend this book enough if you have boys. I borrowed the audiobook from the library but felt that I needed the physical book after listening to it. There is so much good information and resources in this book. Even as a mom, I felt like it was helpful to remind myself about regulating my emotions and more. I will definitely be working on teaching my boys what I’ve learned and hopefully passing along a great gift to them be doing so!

A must read
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.

Raising boys
I really respect all the authors credentials, and so bought this book after listening to an episode of 1,000 hours outside, which had me enthralled after understanding the uniqueness of challenges, specific to raising boys. This book gives me understanding into how I can adapt my style, to fulfil the needs of this, future generation . Great little snippets of encapsulated summaries of each chapter scattered throughout the pages “in a nutshell”

very helpful
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.
