Raising Boys Into Extraordinary
Young Men
For years, parents, teachers, and coaches have asked what Dr. Hawkins did differently while raising her son. The book is the blueprint created from the intentional choices, values, and lessons that helped shape her son into an articulate, self-confident, intelligent, compassionate, and extraordinary young man and leader.
At the heart of this book is a simple belief: extraordinary young men are not shaped by chance. They are nurtured through love, guidance, encouragement, accountability, high expectations, and a strong foundation of self-worth from an early age.

Both books emphasize the importance of parents spending meaningful, quality time with their sons and daughters while creating an environment where open, honest, and respectful communication can thrive. They provide practical guidance to help parents support their children’s academic excellence, establish healthy boundaries around social media and electronic-device use, and remain actively engaged in their emotional, intellectual, and personal development.
A central theme in both books is the transformative power of positive affirmations. When boys and girls regularly speak positive, empowering truths about themselves—both privately and aloud—they begin to strengthen their self-esteem, confidence, resilience, and belief in their own potential. These daily declarations can help children develop a healthy self-image and equip them to face challenges with courage and determination.
Together, these books serve as a blueprint for raising extraordinary children—children who are confident, disciplined, compassionate, focused, and prepared to make a meaningful impact in the world.
Many parents do not have a clear vision for the kind of sons and daughters they hope to raise before their children are born. They may also overlook the importance of identifying and intentionally teaching the moral values that will guide their children throughout life. From the earliest years, parents should help their children understand the importance of looking ahead, setting goals, making wise decisions, and taking responsibility for their future.
In the demands of modern life, parents can become consumed by careers, responsibilities, and personal obligations. In the process, they may unintentionally lose sight of their children’s long-term development and the guidance they need to prepare for adulthood. Raising extraordinary children requires more than providing food, shelter, and education. It requires time, consistency, intentionality, patience, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to their growth.
These core values are the foundation of phenomenal parenting. Parents who invest in their children’s character, confidence, education, relationships, and future are not simply raising successful individuals—they are shaping extraordinary human beings who are prepared to lead, serve, and positively influence the world around them.
