About the Book

For years, parents, teachers, and coaches have asked what I did differently while raising my son. The book is the blueprint I created from the intentional choices, values, and lessons that helped shape him 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.

Through this book, I hope to inspire and empower parents to recognize the tremendous influence they have in shaping their sons’ character, confidence, mindset, and leadership. My goal is to help parents intentionally raise boys who know their value, believe in their abilities, treat others with compassion and respect, and grow into extraordinary young men prepared to make a positive impact in the world.

About the Author

From the time her son was an infant, Dr. Monica Hawkins often heard the same question from parents, teachers, and coaches: “What are you doing differently?”

People consistently noticed how alert, intelligent, and curious he was as a baby. As he grew older, those observations continued. He stood out for his intelligence, confidence, articulate nature, strong sense of self-esteem, and natural leadership abilities.

Those experiences inspired Dr. Hawkins to write her first book, Raising Boys Into Extraordinary Young Men. Her goal was simple but meaningful: to encourage and empower parents to intentionally raise boys who grow into intelligent, self-confident, compassionate, and extraordinary young men.

Recognizing that parents of girls share the same desire to nurture confidence, character, and leadership, Dr. Hawkins later wrote Raising Girls Into Extraordinary Young Women. Through both books, she hopes to provide parents with practical encouragement and inspiration as they help their children recognize their potential and become the very best versions of themselves.

Beyond her work as an author, Dr. Hawkins is a proud wife and mother, sports enthusiast, fitness lover, mentor, tutor, motivator, and member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.

Dr. Hawkins earned her Ph.D. from George Mason University, a Master of Public Health from George Washington University, and a Bachelor of Science from Howard University.

Dr. Hawkins has also shared the inspiration and messages behind both of her books through media appearances, including an interview with Stephanie Gaines-Bryant on the Sisters4 Fitness show on YouTube.

Customer Reviews

A very warm, thought-provoking book on how to raise an amazing, intelligent, and well-rounded son. Dr. Hawkins’ love for all aspects of raising her son shines through this wonderful book. All mothers should follow her child-rearing advice. The world will be blessed.

Clarice E. Gaylord, Ph.D.
What Dr. Hawkins has presented in her book, Raising Boys Into Extraordinary Young Men: A Mother’s Perspective”, is a road map that lays out a plan that guarantees anyone who follows it, a route to success. The book is concise and to the point, and is not threatening to read, even for someone like myself, who has never been excited about picking up a book to read because of its thickness. I feel it’s a “must read” for any mother. From the first chapter to the end of the readings, it is plain to see that developing a son (or even a daughter for that matter) into an extraordinary young adult is hard work from start to finish. The encouraging factor about the plan is that it can work for anyone, regardless of your origin. I truly believe that in reading through the sixteen chapters of Dr. Hawkins’ well-thought out details, that if someone just completed only half of what is prescribed, the results would be a better than average outcome. “Great Job”.

Gene Neal
This is a great book for all parents who are raising children. This book is a very good tool that lays out a plan that maps out a route for success in raising children. The plan outlined out in the book can work for anyone, regardless of their situation. If parents could follow most of Dr. Hawkins' advice and guidance that are detailed in the book, the results would be greater than the average outcome. It is a "Great" book for all parents to read.

Raymond J Henson
Being a great-grandmother, who raised two sons, I feel that all parents can use the tips that are discussed in this marvelous book. I highly recommend that all parents read this book if they want to learn how to raise their sons to be exceptional young men and leaders.

Michele Shorter
This life-changing book is profound and inspirational. Dr. Hawkins is absolutely brilliant at explaining how to teach boys to be extraordinary from the moment they are born. Give this book to everyone you care about who are raising boys. It will change their lives forever.

I truly enjoyed this book! It will make an excellent resource for school counselors and community youth groups. The book is also a great resource for parents and their sons in all stages of development!

R.C.
Raising Boys Into Extraordinary Young Men is an exceptional book that offers an extremely practical blueprint for all parents that want to raise exceptional young men and leaders! Definitely a must-read book!

Erica D.
A must read for every parent, very powerful! The author is clear and provides practical advice for parents on how to properly raise their daughters to be confident, strong and great leaders. This was a very informative book for me! The author explains the importance of spending time with our daughters and being very present in their lives. If we are present, focused, and constantly looking for moments to teach our children about love, life and happiness, then they will grow up to be great individuals. Thank you for writing this book, very helpful for every parent!

Michelle B.
“Raising Boys Into Extraordinary Young Men“ is a great book. As I read the book, I found myself talking to family and friends about a child’s mindset and the importance of what a child thinks he will become. I was so moved that I ordered Dr. Hawkins’ other book “Raising Girls Into Extraordinary Young Women” for my cousin.
