More About This Book

Overview

Why is a trip to the garbage dump such a highlight in a boy's life?

Have you ever been confused by what makes your son tick? Do you sometimes find yourself wondering why your boy acts the way he does? Well, you're not alone. If boys are going to grow into men of integrity, they must learn loyalty, compassion, honor, courage, and perseverance as children. Let's be honest: raising sons to be good men is a tremendous challenge.

Recognizing the incredible value of a mother's influence on her son's life, Rick Johnson offers a practical, common-sense approach to help moms like you prepare for the challenges that will come as your boy grows. In That's My Son, Johnson combines refreshing honesty with extensive research and humorous insight to tackle topics like communication, sexuality, discipline, and respect.

Maybe you're a little overwhelmed at the idea of raising your son to be a man of character. Or perhaps you're wondering how to talk with your boy so that he will listen. Whatever your situation, you will find wise counsel and encouragement in this helpful and reassuring book.

Rick Johnson is founder of Better Dads, a fathering skills program that allows him to deliver seminars to businesses, churches, hospitals, prisons, and schools across the Northwest. This book was developed out of Rick's experiences with his latest seminar, Courageous Moms: Raising Boys to Become Good Men.

    A must read for single Mom's with sons

    A friend of mine told me about this book and I am so thankful. The author spells it out clearly for moms. I had so many ah-ha moments while reading this book. He is very careful to not stereo-type all boys but I have to say, he has helped me so much with understanding my son. I had stopped reading the book for a few days and my son and I were having a disagreement. My son told me, 'Mom, you need to start reading that book again.' Obviously, he noticed a change in my interaction with him. I have been less quick to make him settle down and quiet down, if he is not disturbing or hurting anyone. I have learned to let him have a little more freedom to express his boyhood into manhood.
