1) Birth to 6 years - where boys get most of their security and comfort from mom. Even though dad plays a big role, they are basically a momma's boy.
2) Age 6 to 14 - they adore their mom but they get interested in becoming a man and being more like dad. This is the time for dad's to really step up.
3) Age 14+ - boys will pull back from their parents, and they need influence from good male mentors such as coaches, teachers, grandpa, etc.
So... we are solidly in the Stage 2 area with all 3 boys (Kurt-6, Erik-7, Peter-9). It's daddyo time!
