In Glenn T. Stanton's book "Secure Daughters Confident Sons: How Parents Guide Their Children into Authentic Masculinity and Femininity" there is more information offered than what would just pertain to the narrow gender topic. It also covered language development, discipline balanced with grace, along with other interesting issues and points.
This is a very applicable book with many key areas to keep in mind and a provided a good, well-balanced view of what my vision should be as I raise each of my children. Stanton outlined many important questions that I should be asking myself as I guide them into the adults they should become as well as provided ideas and practices that can be applied in everyday life for most age groups. I was pleasantly surprised to see a chapter on language development and enjoyed the chapter on balancing grace and discipline. It was easy to read with lots of examples and illustrations, I especially liked the Q & A at the end of every chapter.
The only thing I felt was lacking was the use of scripture. God's word is the only source for complete direction and guidance and it would have been great if he would have used more verses to support his insights.
Overall, I thought this was an insightful read and it will be one of those books that I will refer to again and again as my children grow and develop at different stages.
(I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for review purposes.)
