Raising Boys : Why Boys Are Different - And How to Help Them Become Happy and Well-Balanced Men

A word of mouth bestseller which has become one of the best loved and most successful books in the parenting field. Steve Biddulp'sRaising Boysis to be re-released this month with some startling new research on what helps - and what harms - boys.
In this expanded and updated edition, Steve Biddulph shares and gives practical and honest advice to parents so they can recognise the different stages of boyhood and learn how to raise happy, confident and kind young men.

<ul>
<li>How ADHD may be caused by stress in the first year of life.</li>
<li>Whether boys should start school later than girls.</li>
<li>Help for single mothers raising sons.</li>
<li>How to choose a sport that does more good than harm.</li>
<li>What we can do about boys and binge drinking.</li>
<li>What science can tell us about teenage boys and driving - and how we can keep our sons safe.</li>
</ul>

Raising girls is both fierce and tender in its mission to help girls more at every age.

Feeling secure, becoming an explorer, getting along with others, finding her soul and becoming a woman at last, there is a clear map of girl's minds that accepts no limitations, narrow roles or selling-out of your daughter's potential or uniqueness. All the hazards are sign posted bullying, eating disorders, body image and depression, social media harms and helps as are concrete and simple measures for both mums and dads to help prevent their daughters from becoming victims. Parenthood is restored to an exciting journey, not one worry after another as it's so often portrayed.

The Secret of Happy Children : A Guide for Parents

Thorsons

This tape explores what makes boys tick, how they grow up - and how to ensure they grow up to be happy confident grown-ups. The author explains the three key states of childhood - 0-6 where a boy needs mother love and lots of it; 7-14 where he needs a lot of interaction with his father (and mother needs to stand back and let this happen); 14+ where he will shy away from parental interference and needs a responsible male mentor figure to direct him safely through the pitfalls and trails of adolescence.
