KIDS EDITION
What Is It?
This resource is a book review to help parents decide if they should read the book themselves.
In the book, Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys, by Stephen James and David Thomas, counselors take on boyhood with a Godly depth and wisdom that few books genuinely do. We live in a world that often tries to soften masculinity or blur the lines of the developmental stages of boyhood. This book defines those stages as:
-
- The Explorer (ages 2-4)
- The Lover (ages 5-8)
- The Individual (ages 9-12)
- The Wander (ages 13-17)
- The Warrior (ages 18-22)
Year after year*, this book continues to inspire parents to nurture the heart of their son.
How do I use it?
This item is a pdf so you can:
- email the PDF to the parents in your ministry
- print and distribute during a parent event
*Disclaimer: Ministry to Parents’ book reviews are often books published in the past six months up to a year. But occasionally we find a book that continues to help parents time and time again. Although the book’s publication date is 2009, it still has excellent clarity and relevant text. We asked Dan to review this book, so parents can continue to nurture the heart of their boys.
