“As a mom of 4 boys, I felt early on in my life with them that one of my primary responsibilities was to prepare them to leave me. I want them to become independent, strong capable men who could handle themselves in the world and make a difference. I did not want to raise the “tissue hands” type of kids who depended on mom to fetch them a drink of water, pay for everything and live at home forever! This book lays out a great plan of what to teach them and how to do it. Kids can and should cook dinner and change the oil and the tires on the family car!
“Merrilee Boyack tells it like is and how it can be in a very readable & fun way. Sometimes parenting can be overwhelming, so it is great to have a plan that works! She has made a list of things she wanted her kids to know and at what age to teach them and then explains how to make it happen. The plan is practical, field tested, and sensible and gives me real hope that my boys will be real men someday!”
