Useful Links
Here you’ll find links about issues in parenting children, particularly boys, of course. Send me your ideas/opinions or info from published professionals, authors as long as you give them credit. Or send me your own ideas that have worked, and I’ll post them. Issues include: discipline, communication, emotional expression, ‘roughhousing’/“boys will be boys”, talking about sex/dating, talking about alcohol, health-related issues, sports-involvement, academics, etc.
