In SONS TO MEN, developed as a mother's response to the challenges presented in Celia Lashlie's HE'LL BE OK, Anne Harvey has created a practical guide for mothers wanting workable strategies as they enter the emotionally charged time when their sons start to become men. While many parenting books concentrate on how a teenage boy's brain develops, causing him to misjudge the seriousness of situations or the implications of his actions, this book focuses on the mother and how her son's actions and developments impact on her.With pertinent examples and real-life scenarios, Anne demonstrates how these situations can happen to any boy and mother, and, most importantly, suggests ways of dealing with them.
Designed to increase a mother's appreciation of her importance as a woman within the role of mother of an adolescent boy, this book encourages mothers to avoid the futility of joining those the world over who fruitlessly quiz their sons about their thoughts and feelings. As a mother, be inspired to examine more closely what could be causing some of the issues you're having, and look for the central calm space within. Follow Anne's clear, accessible and logical process to see how you can minimize the turbulence as you raise your son. Learn how to relax and enjoy your boy's transition to manhood, right now, when it's happening, instead of spending these years as a confused, angry and frustrated casualty.
