5 out of 5 stars A Must For Anyone With A Son   December 12, 2008
The only regret that I have concerning this book, is that I didn't read it years ago ! It was a shame that I had to wait until I had a son with br /difficulties, to be able gain some insight into the problems facing a very br /boyish-boy in today's society. Hopefully, I will now be kinder to my son,br /and be able to give him more of the elements which he needs -following Steve Biddulph's very sain and logical advice.br /This is a very easy to read, well laid out book : and the fact that the br /'Typical Boy' that he is describing, is a perfect carbon copy in every respect of my eldest son, can only make me believe that he Knows What He's Talking About. I discussed Steve Biddulph's point of view with an Head Teacher and a Child Psychiatrist, who both agreed with him.br /I would recommend this book to anyone who has just had a son...


4 out of 5 stars a must-have book   February 25, 2008

my girlfriend who has 5 and 2 years old sons suggested that I should get this book in order to understand a nature of boyhood. I also have 2.5 year old son and 7 months old baby. My eldest son is now in a "terrible two" stage. This book helps me understand why he does what he does, why he does the opposite of what I say, etc. br /I told my husband to read it too, so he can be more patience and understanding.


5 out of 5 stars A help indeed!   January 27, 2008

WOW.... was referred to this book by a friend. Can definately say it was worth the purchase. After having a girl when our son came along I was getting so frustrated. He was so different to her. Raising boys brought a lot of insight into why they are different but more importantly the stages that boys go through. It all made sense as I read. It has provided vital information for the future and how best to try to keep him out of "trouble".


2 out of 5 stars Waist of time   January 7, 2008

The sections on toddler boys were good, but it deteriorated from there into Biddulph suggesting that parents shop for "good" porn for their 14 year old boys! Thanks, Steve! Good advice. I guess you never heard how Prince's (the artist formerly known as Prince) mother did that. Look how good he turned out, right?


4 out of 5 stars Great insight on the dynamics of boys.   July 5, 2007
