Six Ways to Keep the Good in Your Boy: Guiding Your Son from His Tweens to His Teens
When bestselling author Dannah Gresh was body-slammed by her 12-year-old son, she was hit with reality: raising a boy is a whole new ballgame!
A boy's relationship with his mom during the formative age between 8 and 12 is vital to his future well-being. So how can moms teach sons to be honest, confident, and respectful when the world and situations encourage them to make bad decisions and grow up too fast?
Dannah's practical experience and research, along with advice from her husband, Bob Gresh, provide a mom with six proactive ways to help her son:
- honor his body in a healthy way
- get outside to play unplugged
- live out his faith
This accessible resource will empower moms with information and hope to raise sons of integrity and faith. Includes an insightful Connection IQ Inventory test, activity ideas, and Scriptures to pray over sons.

Praise for this book
"Boy oh boy! Bob and Dannah Gresh have written a great book for parents of sons. I know. I have three of my own. And I wish I would have had a resource like this when they were young. Six Ways to Keep the 'Good' in YourBoy provides valuable information and points out positive ways to channel all that testosterone-induced male energy. If you have a boy, this is a book you must read!"
--Mary A. Kassian, author, Girls Gone Wise
"With two young sons of our own, Jean and I can certainly attest to the challenges raising boys can bring! Dannah and Bob offer parents a fascinating look into the development of tween and teen boys, as well as a wealth of practical, hands-on musts for successfully connecting with them. Learn the 'how-to's' for building and strengthening parent/son relationships and guiding young men toward a purposeful, God-honoring adulthood."
--Jim Daly, president, Focus on the Family
"Every mom and dad want their little boy to grow to be a caring and courageous man. The truth is, they can either be his allies on that journey to manhood, or they can hinder his progress. Thankfully, Bob and Dannah Gresh have sound, practical wisdom for moms and dads who want their sons to be the men God made them to be."
--Bob Lepine, co-host of FamilyLife Today
"Almost every single day I ask the Lord to make me a better mom to my four children. Books like this one feel like an answer to prayer. Bob and Dannah Gresh have done a fabulous job addressing many of the issues that concern our boys. I highly recommend their insights, biblical instruction, and practical application. These pages are marching orders! It's time to fight for the good in our boys!"
--Angela Thomas, bestselling author and speaker
