About those meltdowns, blowups, and one-word answers . . .

Some say that's just how boys are–prone to outbursts or sullenness. But what's behind these and other issues?

Drawing from twenty-five years of counseling boys and working with parents,nbsp;Davidnbsp;Thomasnbsp;sheds light on common emotional struggles, including anger, anxiety, and depression, and shares practical ways you can help your son be

#9679; Resourceful–equipped to work through his emotions in constructive ways
#9679; Aware–so that he better understands himself, including his strengths and weaknesses
#9679; Resilient–having the capacity to cope and feel competent
#9679; Empathetic–able to understand the feelings and experiences of others

Helpful also for grandparents, teachers, and anyone else who has a boy in their life, this book shows how a strong emotional foundation leads to a Christ-like sense of masculinity that will serve him well his whole life.
