THURSDAY: It's a Boy

It's a Boy walks readers through the developmental stages for boys from birth to 18. It looks at different areas of development - physical, emotional, mental, and social. It works in 3 year increments (like from 5 to 7 or from 11 to 13) and talks about what is "normal" boy behavior and some of why boys do what they do. As an only child who did not grow up with brothers, this book was very helpful to me to learn more about boy behavior. It was helpful to know what sorts of things to expect in the next stage.It also helps me cherish the things that my son does and to see those things as part of his development into a responsible, well-adjusted, and personable adult. This is a book I highly recommend to parents of boys!
