From Little Boys...
Teach him to keep a secret.
Take him for walks and introduce him to the world of bugs.
Read to him nightly. He'll love it.
Don't let him sleep in you bed, even if he's scared or sick. Sleep in his room on the floor.
From Boys & Sports...
Show him how to put a baseball in a new glove and wrap a belt around it.
Accept the fact he may not be a quarterback, he may be a tuba player. And a fine one at that.
From Boys & Money
Help him buy a small amount of stock with his own money when he's twelve. Think how rich he'll be if he keeps that up for fifty years.
Show him how to return something to the store and get his money back.
