Raising a Son provides wonderful insight on the male psyche, and the development of healthy male personality. I found the Elium's wisdom on disciplining the male child through stages of development enlightening. I especially appreciated the description of the mother/son relationship and the ramifications of maternal behavior in that relationship. Raising a Son is very interesting reading.
Although this is an older work, I enjoyed this book on tape and found it is still current in relation to the strategies recommended. It provides a very practical approach to negotiation. One of the key points that stand out in my mind is, "You should care, but not that much", about what you are negotiating for. The book provides an interesting and helpful perspective. It explains why when we care too much, or are too emotionally attached to what we want, we cannot negotiate well.
"Guns Are Not for Fun" is a very simple, to the point book about the dangers of guns. Geared towards elementary aged children, it effectively addresses the price a child will play if he or she plays with a gun and hurts someone. It clearly instructs children to get a grownup if they find a gun.
