Mother to Son, Revised Edition

Shared Wisdom from the Heart

By Melissa Harrison, Harry H. Harrison, Jr.

The most important job in the world

This treasury of wisdom, humor, and love is a guide for every step of the exhilarating, sometimes exasperating journey that begins with those three wonderful words: It's a boy! Its hundreds of lessons from mother to son include instilling values and confidence. Knowing when to say yes, and when to say no.

It’s filled with the importance of nurturing responsibility: Teach him that the world will judge him by his actions, not his intentions. Fun stuff: Have tea with him in the afternoons. Serve cookies. And when he’s ready to go: Hug him fiercely.
