[quote=Anonymous]This is kind of off topic, but I just finished reading "Where the Red Fern Grows" with my dcs and it is such a beautiful portrayal of boyhood masculinity. The boy protagonist is very much a "boy's boy" but he is loving, very in touch with his feelings, vulnerable, sensitive. Of course he is just a character, but looking at his background, he has a loving family with strong male influences from his dad and grandfather. He spends lots of time being active outside and in nature, which he deeply appreciates. He has discipline and religious teaching in the home (not saying you need to have religion, but maybe something that adds structure, discipline, reflection, and ritual to daily life is important).[/quote]
