Publisher’s Summary

What are little boys made of? It used to be frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails, but today it is MTV, ADD, and STDs. So how do parents raise their sons to be respectful and responsible young men in a toxic culture that relentlessly undermines masculine virtues such as moral strength, self-restraint, and respect for women? By letting boys be boys.
Dr. Meg Meeker, best-selling author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, follows up on her success with Boys Should Be Boys, a guide for parents on how to raise a strong son in these turbulent times. Taking listeners on a journey from boyhood to manhood, Boys Should be Boys delves into the mind, heart, and spirit of boys, showing parents how they can make a difference between the boy their son is and the man he will become.
“Great guide for grownups”

Had I read the negative reviews, I never would have bought this book! Thankfully, I didn’t do my homework.

This book is gold. My only regret is I didn’t have it for the raising of my older kids as it would have saved us a lot of pain and regret. The narrator’s voice is a little preachy, but inoffensive if your focus is on the content. The material is excellent. Thanks Dr. Meeker for a great resource!
“If you have a boy..”

If you have a boy under your care you MUST read/listen to this book. I am a child of a single mother and did not learn the principles of fatherhood that Meg explains as vital to a boys growth and success in life. Highly Recommended!
“Not like it was in my days”

There are some good points in this book, but generally comes off as an “in my day, we used to play marbles, and bought gum drops for a penny”. Some how they think because kids grow up different then they did 50 years ago it’s worse. Video games are bad, hand written letters are good. The facts don’t add up to what they are trying to portray as reality. Perception that this generation is the worst, is false and fabricated by the media. Because that is what sells and what older people want to hear. It’s easier to accept that, then the facts.
“Inspiring”

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I reflected a lot on being a boy. Reminding myself of what it was like growing up and bringing to my mind ways to be a better more supportive father.

What other book might you compare Boys Should Be Boys to and why?

Strong Father Strong Daughter was also an excellent book by Meg Meeker. Understanding how much influence a father has on his daughters well being and development gives a lot of pressure to be a good dad.

Any additional comments?

Book was great but not as exceptional as her first book - “Strong fathers strong daughters”
The readers voice was not as appealing to me, this may account for my reception of the material.
“My Wife and I both benefited”

Our 5yr old boy has been challenging his Kindergarten teacher. He is bright and learns quickly but is very rambunctous. Instinctually I knew that he was just being “a boy” but it was nice to get some confirmation. This book taught me that it’s not just that “Boys will be Boys” but as the title says, “Boys Should Be Boys”. And I just need to fight for him as well as shape him!!

Great Book! I would hightly recommend to any Mom and Dad of boys
