Description
"Boys will be boys." It is a common enough saying - and one I am not fond of. It seems like quite a worldly saying intended to lightheartedly absolve parents from any responsibility they have over their sons' actions. The fact is, Christian parents should be able to delight in their son's actions and attitudes. Of course, it takes quality input to see quality output. Starting young, this series looks into basic and fundamental areas of responsibility which young boys can easily work on in their day-to-day lives: bed making, morning routine, parents, friends, TV, money, grooming, chores, relationship with God, fellowship, the phone, interacting with others, clothing, listening, work ethic, giving, and much, much more. Focusing on a different responsibility each week, the thirty weeks covered in each book lay a pretty solid foundation through text appropriately directed at youth and fleshed out with Scripture, prayers, and practical, but simple, tasks to work on in the coming week. Character doesn't just happen, it is learned - and nobody teaches it better than a child's own parents. ~ Zach
