Okay my friends, here's a little preview of what will be happening here on Monday when authors, speakers, and therapists Stephen James, M.A., and David Thomas, M.S. S. W. visit Adventurous Living! Don't you just love the cover? My boys are ALWAYS sword fighting!!!
As a mom of two boys, one seven and the other seventeen, I can't wait to share with you Stephen and David's practical tips and suggestions based on clinical research that will give fresh insight and much-needed encouragement on the road to raising boys.
The following is an excerpt from the back book cover copy of Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys
BORN TO BE... WILD!
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, or embrace a boy's hunger, passion, or wildness but rather seeks to tame it. As a result, many parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors find themselves frustrated, confused, and wearied by boys' behavior.
The truth is, boys don't need to be tamed--they need to be understood, loved, challenged, and encouraged.
Wild Things helps parents, teachers, mentors, and others understand and explore the hearts, minds, and ways of boys and the vital role that parents and caregivers play on their journey to manhood.

And friends, each of these guys has the added experience of having their own individual families. And yes, each of them are raising boys! From personal experience, I've found that sometimes that added insight of "living it" is an important element in giving honest, practical advice. Well, until Monday, I wish you a fond farewell and a good weekend. See you on January 19th... and spread the word about Wild Things book tour!
Live the adventure,

This sounds like a great book, Susan. Thanks for recommending it. Too bad that all the good books are not available in German and most of my friends are not fluent in English.
Have a blessed weekend - I love your blog design - I rarely see it, because I read in a feeder, but today I was "live" at the page ;-)
I like it. I like it alot. I'll be back. Have a wonderful weekend.
I cannot wait! This sounds like a great time. My sons are the same way. Of course two of them are adults now, but two of them are still little boys. They are always building swords and shields. In fact, my 7 year old (soon to be 8) just notified me yesterday that he will be legally changing his name to Link soon. Link is the hero in the Legend of Zelda video games. Yikes!
My younger brother had tried hard to teach my sons about the honor of a Knight or Warrior. How they must treat women/girls kindly with their hands and mouths. How they are loyal to the good King and always esteem honor through their exemplary behavior.
It amazes me how boys live out their lives wanting to be respected as heroes. While, little girls long to be the princess loved by the hero! LOL!
Blessings to you and yours!
