  <default_description>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 &lt;i&gt;Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters&lt;/i&gt;, follows up her success with &lt;i&gt;Boys Should Be Boys&lt;/i&gt;--a guide for parents on how to raise a strong son in these turbulent times. Taking readers on a journey from boyhood to manhood, &lt;i&gt;Boys Should Be Boys&lt;/i&gt; 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. &quot;Boys will be boys&quot;--Dr.Meeker shows why it is not just an expression, it's a necessity.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Too many anecdotes and entirely too much generalities. Message of the book: Kids need their parents and don't need to be sitting in front of a screen or hyper scheduled.  Got it.]]></body>
