- Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys by Stephen James and David Thomas
About five years ago, I was talking to a sweet friend of mine who is also raising a couple of boys of her own. I was sharing with her that I felt like I was completing failing my boys as a mom because I was so frustrated with them a lot of the time. My friend smiled and reassured me that I am not a bad mom, and she agreed that boys can be really hard to raise at times. Then, she told me about this AMAZING book on raising boys. I ordered it that day, and I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it.
In Wild Things, James and Thomas–both Christian family therapists–unpack the difficulty most parents experience while raising boys. They walk parents through how boys need to be guided and nurtured through the different seasons of childhood based on their age and maturity levels. It was truly therapeutic and eye-opening for me all at the same time. I highly recommend it for ALL moms of boys.
