Thank y...I am going to reserve this at my library. Thank you for the insight!<br /><br />And, for the record, you're not alone in the screen time restrictions and other limitations you put on your children. I'm glad to see another mom who has the same guidelines as I do on that subject.JAMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699891999225058121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-87408059046109775682010-11-27T07:40:35.264-08:002010-11-27T07:40:35.264-08:00Nice review of Boys Adrift--I love this book too. ...Nice review of Boys Adrift--I love this book too. Dr. Sax has some great ideas. After reading his book, I threw out all of my plastic sippy cups--not sure if that was a good thing, but it made me feel better.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152679730564406803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-84366233940496650972010-11-16T14:04:13.396-08:002010-11-16T14:04:13.396-08:00I am totally right there with you on the video gam...I am totally right there with you on the video game thing. Not gonna happen. Just like sodas. Is it out there? Sure. Are they eventually going to try it? Sure. But having it at their friends' houses and getting it at home is a different thing. So I hear you on that.<br /><br />I will check out the book too. I also read a great one called "Raising Boys Without Men." Check it out if you haven't already...For the Long Haulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844179491237413679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-27958402010596427492010-11-15T19:20:08.779-08:002010-11-15T19:20:08.779-08:00i love to find new parenting books. obviously, i d...i love to find new parenting books. obviously, i don't have a boy, but i might just have to check it out anyway!!! :D<br /><br />i wonder if i might end up with a boy at some point... right now, they seem to want me to take teen girls. of course, T is having a boy, though. :)<br /><br />MelissaMama Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731917736362150072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-71063664601722603072010-11-15T09:18:24.322-08:002010-11-15T09:18:24.322-08:00very much going to check out the book.very much going to check out the book.Dresdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175020945060706220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-18707555196926846752010-11-14T18:36:59.733-08:002010-11-14T18:36:59.733-08:00Not having boys I haven't really thought about...Not having boys I haven't really thought about whether or not I subscribe to the "see men to become men" thing .. but how you describe "men" here? Just because it has a penis attached doesn't make it an appropriate role model. <br /><br />I have decided that I will expose my daughter to as many positive males as I can find in my life to try to give her a sense of the masculine. She has a doting grandpa, so she has a loving male figure in her life, if that's important for her development. But just sticking any old "man" in there I don't think is the idea ... or even a good idea.<br /><br />I've read alot of the research on endocrine disruptors and it's scary. Makes me want to only buy stuff in glass bottles - which is not easy to do.<br /><br />You know, I was really hoping for a boy while I was preggo. I was afraid that raising a girl would be too difficult for me to handle. The issues are just different. Glad you found a good resource.MommieVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802987098837731695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-48883080034023334432010-11-13T18:02:37.501-08:002010-11-13T18:02:37.501-08:00Thanks, I will have to look for it on half.comThanks, I will have to look for it on half.comKimmyannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335021182212869143noreply@blogger.com
