I am considering a book which addresses the importance of honoring boys and affirming them more to thereby assist in the betterment of their self esteem and development.

Do everything for a boy that you would do for a girl... although they never start a period, they do still hit puberty and it can be hard for them... most teenage boys dont understand what is going on when they hit puberty, so you should explain it and then help them to understand that now they are becoming a man. celebrate this transition with them.

You can read them the David books and make up some rules as a class (but have a general idea what you want your rules to be). I think the name of the book is NO, David! and its about a boy who misbehaves in class.

Haha, I think that's an awesome idea. If it doesn't work now, then at least the gay people of the future will have a sacred source to rely on. \n\nActually, I think that every kind of minority can benefit from having such a holy text. I think I might start writing a "Fat People Bible" so that I can point to it when I reach for that extra deep-fried eggroll.

I'm a girl. I have a few wonderful guy friends. I wouldn't know what to do without them in my life. They are my support system. They are much more sincere than some girls I know.

How about having your child take each one of the "H's" and write just a little about  each that he/she is thankful for?...I think this would give some simple, practical structure to the speech, and should play right into the ability level and creativity of a 10 or 11 year old...Good luck...(Former H.S. English teacher)

i think thats a good story, because it would teach people that bragging isnt good because it makes people not like you, then when you need help you arent going to be able to find it. it kind of tells you that you should be a good person. like a what goes around comes around kind of story. sounds good.

Of great importance are your children. The school and church you find will make a big impact on them. You have the responsibility to take great care in training your children. Do some research and even visit the areas your thinking of. It is not an easy thing to do but you will find it most very important in the future. You want one day for your children to wake up and call you "blessed" Lots of work-great reward

That was really sweet of you to put this on here. You are right, it was a relief to read! I hope some of the cute little girls on this site who are always asking about what does a boy like in a girl, or should a girl ask out a boy, or other self-esteem questions, I hope some of them read this too. \n\nThanks so much. You must be one of the loving women who is this beautiful.

Absolutely. It would be intriguing to see how they really think and feel and why men do what they do.

That's the problem - boys... Not that when they become men it gets much better. But some mature. Get a good Christian man and your chances go up =)

Concerned maybe. It would be better to keep notes and write a novel. The publication and popularity will do wonders for your self-esteem.

New Orleans Public Libarys are looking for more books. You send down book, but they prefer that you collect books and have a book sale and make a donations. I do not have all the deatails on this project right here, but if this intrest you, I could get them for you. For my Senior Capsotne, I interveiw a 97 year old woman from Febuary till present. Im workinging on her emiors with her. It will be a great thing for her family to have. My freind is working is a boy scout...he put togehter a cook book with practical recipes and recipes for cooking and tips for camping. He help a spagathi dinner to raise fund s to make the book and all prceeds from the sales of the book went to the local boy scout camp...hrrrmmmm...what else...put together an annual event where local churches and bussines donate turkeys for needy people during thanksgiving. Then at your school, churches or anywhere, everyopne brings in the dinner fixings. This is a great project. My school does it every year. We have a competion between our adviosrys and however collects the most gets a small breakfast. We alwasy have tons left over that we donate to the food shelf. hrmmmmm....I know my friends brother built bird houses......for some special bird....but I can't remember the deatails on that. Something thats ghreat but takes aloot of time is starting up a Habitat for Humanity chapter in yer local area. Clean up is walways great. These are all I can think of at the moment. If you need more ideas, email me at deano_vt@yahoo.com.

see,firstly, it would help your son to decide for himself what is good or bad for him. also, since in the process, he will have you in confidence, he may share the experiences with you and subsequently,you may be able to guide him much better then.
