engage and communicate with your son

I thought this book provided a lot of practical examples, however, could have had a few more detailing out different scenarios. This book is definitely different from how I’ve raised my boys, but I do like the calmness that it provides. I especially like the section on digital responsibility. I think this section resonated the most with me and I’m sure with other parents that will as well. Overall, this book has provided some excellent guidance and as a parent will make me stop and think before I engage or communicate the wrong way.

Solid uplifting and helpful book about teen boys

This book is such a great study of nearly all the aspects of raising teenage boys, and it covers all of the issues practically. The chapter about tech is very helpful, so are the ones about sports and friendships. Having raised a teenage boy of my own, I know that each of these issues is discussed openly and honestly, suggesting helpful avenues for parents to use is supporting more independence while maintaining connection with their son. A great book.

Valuable resource for every parent of a teenage boy…

I which I’d read this book sooner! I’ve read quite a few great books on parenting boys. This one really resonated with where we’re were in the mid teens and today. Our son just turns 18 and is living at home and studying. I can relate to so much of this and even at his current age it is really useful. Reading this I can see our mistakes but also ways to improve things now.

A Great Guide for Parenting

This book hit all the bases for me. Teens of both genders are challenging - but the focus on boys seemed like a nice way to address some of the challenges more often faced by young males. Though, honestly, I don’t believe there is THAT big of a difference unless you are raising kids in a totally heteronormative environment. I’d say the book has much to offer parents of both girls and boys.

Great Guidance for parents

I thought this was really well written and full of practical advice and tips for parents of teenage boys. They are very complex creatures and this helps navigate all the tricky parts really well! It covers pretty much all areas you could need and I think it will help parents equip their sons with the tools they need to thrive in life.

perfect timing

Got this just in time! From being grandmother to actively parenting a young teen I really needed the practical action steps to take to grow a healthy young man. Encouraging emotional intelligence, balanced use of technology, gaming, devices, sociability, resilience and problem solving. A fresh way of looking at raising a confident decent human being.
