Book excerpt: Winner of the 2010 Mom's Choice Gold Award, Adult Parenting category Through shared insights and experiences, this mother of 10 boys teaches and inspires moms to raise sons who are compassionate, loving, responsible, well educated, and faith filled. Her simple advice and easy-to-follow principles take the "difficulty" out of raising sons. Advocating a practical and realistic approach that recognizes societal influences without allowing them to create a fear factor, she shies away from identifying sons as "abnormal" because they do not follow the female pattern of development. Believing that diversity education begins at home within the family, she counsels that each child is unique in their interests, abilities, and strengths and that appreciating their individual gifts is key to their upbringing. She encourages and motivates mothers to make a commitment to their sons' upbringing that provides them with the tools they need to reach their full potential--emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Her philosophy provides not only a joy-filled mothering experience but the ability to raise well-adjusted and successful sons.
