Since I just had a son two months ago, I am currently obsessed with boys. I watch boys of all ages and wonder what my son will be like when he's two, five, nine, twelve, and so on. This book gave me some idea of how boys think and feel and I hope will give me more empathy for my son as he grows. Of course I didn't agree with all their ideology, but the overall concept was one I can support--help boys feel loved and help them learn to communicate their feelings. I especially loved that they used real stories to illustrate their ideas. The "Mothers and Sons" section of the book gave me a glimpse of the kind of mother I'd like to be or not be, looking at the different cases that they gave. I would definitely recommend this book.
