Boys, Boys, Boys

I'm currently reading a fascinating book entitled: "Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys." by Stephen James and David Thomas

So far, some of the key things I've come away with are these:

Boys need space.
Boys need to move around. Alot.
Boys will destroy things.
Boys need to go outside alot.
Boys do listen. You just have to learn how to talk to them.
Boys are different than girls and isn't that wonderful?
Boys need to go outside alot. Did I say that already?
The more boys seem to despise you, the more they love and need you.
Get educated. Educate your boys especially about those dreaded topics like masturbation, wet dreams, sex, drugs, pornography, and any other topics your parents probably "forgot" to tell you.
 
Lori has written a great review of this book in her blog, if you want an idea of what this book is all about.

It's funny how my 1 year old zeroed in on the picture of the boys on the cover of this book. Mesmerized....
