If you aren’t familiar with Steve Biddulph, he is one of Australia’s most respected and well-liked family therapists. Look him up, he has wonderful advice.
His book ‘Raising Boys’ has been updated with new information (yay!). This updated book has a new title, ‘Raising 21st Century Boys’.
The new information includes:
- Cutting-edge science about brain and normal development including the latest findings on testosterone and how those precipitate the full-on fours and the emotional eights.
- How puberty can be turned into a wonderful time for making better men.
- Getting the school starting age right, finding a boy-friendly classroom, and what to do at home so your boys love stories, reading and books (love this!).
- How role modelling really works and how being a single mum or dad can work out just fine.
- A reminder that no two boys are alike, and we have to get to know our own unique little boy.
Key topics include:
- Boys and crying
- Boys and ‘bad’ behaviour
- Reading and communication
- Countering the effects of porn
- Transgender/gay children and the development of sexuality development.
This book is like having a therapist at home. Highly recommended for all parents of boys.
