Son Also Rises

The book is composed of enlightening stories of every-day families who lived through teenage years with their boys. It is intended to entertain, teach, and comfort parents who feel that they are alone in their struggle with their son. Teenage boys separate from parents and achieve independence through action. Many must experience life directly, and often physically. The new hormones in their bodies together with an urgent need to become independent prompt boys to act, often without thought of consequence. Parents need to balance supporting and protecting their sons through this period with enough freedom to allow them to separate successfully and find their identity. The book is about normal boys as they move toward a responsible adulthood. It tells of many different families and sons, including the bright underachiever, the creative boy, the athlete, and twin boys.Arnett, Faye B. is the author of 'Son Also Rises' with ISBN 9781588510518 and ISBN 1588510514.
