A few tidbits of wisdom he learned . . .* Other people's kids aren't as perfect as you think. * Save the real battles for things that truly matter. * Take conversations when they come (even at bedtime). * They become frugal when money is scarce.* Pray together whenever you can.Every boy is beautifully unique, and predictably the same. All boys go through similar phases and challenges and cause their parents the same headaches and joys. Filled with reflections that are at once familiar and new, Boy Lessons will help you understand your sons better, put their behavior into perspective, and be a better parent.
