Boys Should Be Boys: 7 Secrets to Raising Healthy Sons

What are little boys made of? It used to be frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails, but today it is MTV, ADD, and STDs. So how do parents raise their sons to be respectful and responsible young men despite a toxic culture that relentlessly undermines masculine virtues such as moral strength, self-restraint, and respect for women? By letting boys be boys. Dr. Meg Meeker, bestselling author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, follows up her success with Boys Should Be Boys–a guide for parents on how to raise a strong son in these turbulent times. Taking readers on a journey from boyhood to manhood, Boys Should Be Boys delves into the mind, heart, and spirit of boys, showing parents how they can make a difference between the boy their son is and the man he will become. “Boys will be boys”—Dr.Meeker shows why it is not just an expression, it’s a necessity.

“Dr. Meeker provides insight, information, and, ultimately, inspiration….Boys Should Be Boys once again demonstrates that the most important element in wisdom is common sense.”
—Michael Medved, nationally syndicated radio host,author of Right Turns

Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know

Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know

The most important person in a young girl’s life? Her father. That’s right-and teen health expert Dr. Meg Meeker has the data and clinical experience to prove it. After more than twenty years of counseling girls, she knows that fathers, more than anyone else, set the course for their daughters’ lives. Now Dr. Meg, author of the critically acclaimed Epidemic: How Teen Sex Is Killing Our Kids, shows you how to strengthen-or rebuild-your bond with your daughter, and how to use it to shape her life, and yours, for the better. Directly challenging the feminist attack on traditional masculinity, Dr. Meg demonstrates that the most important factor for girls growing up into confident, well-adjusted women is a strong father with conservative values. To have one, she shows, is the best protection against eating disorders, failure in school, STDs, unwed pregnancy, and drug or alcohol abuse; and the best predictor of academic achievement, successful marriage, and a satisfying emotional life.

“Dr. Meeker’s conclusions are timely, relevant, and often deeply moving. No one interested in what girls experience growing up in our culture today – and the impact that parents, especially fathers, have on the experience-can afford to miss reading this book.”
—Armand M. Nicholi Jr. M.D., professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

“A touching, illuminating book that will prove valuable to all of us who are fortunate enough to have been blessed with daughters.”
—Michael Medved

“Reassuring and Challenging… a helpful roadmap for concerned fathers [that] tackles difficult issues” —National Review

Read Your Kids at Risk and learn how to save yours.”
 — Dr. Laura Schlessinger, nationally syndicated radio host and best-selling author
