I am a father of a son. Is that different from being the father of girl? Conn Iggulden, author of the The Dangerous Book for Boys, thinks it is. I read an article by him this past summer where he argued that boys are inherent risk-takers who crave a little danger and excitement as they engage the world physically and mentally, and as a father, you have responsibility to foster an environment that tolerates a little danger and excitement. I have been rightly criticized by my wife for sometimes letting a little excitement become a little too much, but between the two of us an atmosphere of tolerable risk is, I hope, achieved. A good thing too, because Iggulden thinks a boy who is not exposed to a little danger will seek out far worse on his own. I hope to read the book soon (GVPL has the book).

And I am going to start with one of the first books recommended to me when I announced my impending fatherhood, The Evolution of Fatherhood by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson.
