shicklin's review against another edition

Good information-- I didn't agree with everything he said, but sometimes that is helpful for me to be able to take a step back and really look at his ideas. A lot of good and practical stuff worth revisiting. As always with books broken into ages, I really enjoyed the parts about the boys current stages, it would be good to reread as the boys enter new stages--but I also suspect I might forget... and that will be okay... I can't remember everything... and if I need that information God will remind me of this book.... and I think I have sufficiently calmed myself down....

Good information on how boys and girls think and behave and even learn differently.
Good stories and parenting advice. (more than a book of common sense.)

I needed to educate myself about how to direct, discipline and dream with my boys at the appropriate age. It won't be the last time I read this book. Now it will be chapter by chapter and re-reading to keep straight. Gurian seems to offer a balanced and disciplined approach to love boys into adulthood. Some scary stories as parents divorce and the resulting chaos created by it. I bought the book two years ago after a review. I'm glad to have read it and have already applied some ideas.
I started reading Grimm's fairy tales to the boys. They love it. Now i'm encouraged to read other books to the boys. I'm looking forward to it. I'm sad Amanda is not here to participate in the stories.
