Что нужно знать каждой матери, чтобы оставаться в своем уме? Увлекательная сынология от знаменитого психолога и автора популярных книг " Прежде чем ваш ребенок сведет вас с ума " и " Пока ваш подросток не свел вас с ума ". Почему мальчишки такие шумные? Почему они всегда все ломают? И почему их восхищает все, что может обжечь, ослепить или покалечить? Вы - озадаченная мама, встревоженная бабушка или опекун, воспитывающий чьих-то сыновей? Значит, эта книга для вас. Найджел Латта в лучших традициях Шерлока Холмса и его дедуктивного метода переходит от общих советов по воспитанию детей и подростков к частному — воспитанию мальчиков матерями. При этом неважно, идет речь о матерях-одиночках или о полной семье. И неважно, о каком возрасте мальчиков мы говорим: «Сынология. Матери, воспитывающие сыновей» рассматривает специфические особенности именно мальчишеской физиологи, мышления и воспитания. Найджел Латта с присущим ему спокойствием и юмором относится к проблеме воспитания сыновей. По сути, он даже не относится к этому как к проблеме, а называет это «долгим и увлекательным странствием по полям и извилистым каньонам мальчишеских лет». Книги на русском языке #ReadRussia

Latta worked as a consultant in his field for private companies and government social service agencies, including Department of Corrections, the New Zealand Police and Child Youth and Family.
In the 2010s, he became known for his true crime documentaries and psychology-based television series, as the host of Beyond The Darklands, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Teenagers and The Politically Incorrect Parenting Show, and a science show called Nigel Latta Blows Stuff Up, among others. In 2016, Latta co-found Ruckus Films, a production company which produced several feature documentaries including Born This Way: Awa’s Story and Stan.

In September 2024, Latta revealed that he had been diagnosed with "inoperable and incurable" terminal stomach cancer, and that he was undergoing chemotherapy that had shrunk the tumour by about 60 percent. Latta was told that he had 6 to 12 months to live. In February 2025, the prognosis was reduced to four weeks after a scan indicated that the cancer had spread to his lungs. However, Latta later said that, because of the treatment he was receiving, he believed he would continue to live for "years and years". In March 2025, he stated that he was no longer terminally ill. Latta died on 30 September 2025, at the age of 58 at the Mercy Hospice in Ponsonby, Auckland.
