Descriere

Description Have you ever laughed, slapped your forehead and thought, "What the heck is wrong with these boys?" If this is you, you're not alone. Whether they are whacking themselves in the head, asking inappropriate questions, or playing with their body parts, boys often can be flabbergasting. Author and communication studies professor Diane Auten understands. As a mother of two crazy boys, she understands firsthand how parents, teachers, or caregivers to boys are often confused about how to relate to them; but it doesn't have to be this way. We can have more fun and connective relationships with our boys, if we learn how to start early. Using hilarious situations from her own sons' lives, Diane gives you a glimpse into the world of raising boys and how to improve your relationships with them. Readers of The Joys of Raising Boys will laugh while discovering how boys: - learn, explore, and talk about body parts- make sense of relationships and love- view life circumstances- use their untamable imagination This is a Mom-oir that looks at what happens when the filters are turned off. From boys wondering when they're going to get "hairballs on their tenders" to running up and down the crowded department store aisles celebrating a particularly good poop, The Joys of Raising Boys: The Good, the Bad, and the Hilarious takes a look at the gritty (and frequently jaw dropping) business of raising boys.
