| Summary | "Bringing up the Boy" by Carl Avery Werner is a parental guidebook published in the early 20th century that addresses the critical aspects of raising boys in a way that promotes healthy development and good character. The book offers insights specific to the psychology and behavior of boys, emphasizing the distinct differences in upbringing compared to girls. It revolves around the theme of educating parents on how to instill virtues, discipline, and knowledge in their sons as they navigate youth and prepare for adulthood. In "Bringing up the Boy," Werner shares his firsthand experiences and insights as a father, offering practical advice on various topics, such as the importance of discipline, the cultivation of truthfulness, and the necessity of understanding boys' natural tendencies. He argues against overly coddling boys, advocating instead for a balance of love and firmness that encourages independence and self-reliance. The text does not shy away from discussing difficult subjects, including sexuality, substance use, and the influence of reading materials, stressing the need for open and honest communication. Throughout the book, Werner underscores the necessity of guiding boys with a strong moral compass to ensure they grow into responsible and exemplary men.
