Compulsory reading for all teachers and parents !,
By
This review is from: Steve Biddulph's Raising Boys: Why Boys are Different - and How to Help Them Become Happy and Well-Balanced Men (Paperback)
As a teacher of more than 25 years experience, I thought I knew quite a lot about how to educate boys in their last year at primary school. However Steve Biddulph has managed in one fell swoop to make me sit up and really challenge some of my long held beliefs in the way boys should be taught. I bought the book and within 48 hours have read it from cover to cover three times. Some of his observations had me punching the air yelling 'Yes!;some of the stories had me in tears as I recognised incidents from own childhood; and some of the life history stories made me want to hang my head in shame, because I recognised myself as the speaker of certain words, or perpretrator of some actions that caused hurt, bewilderment to the children entrusted to my care. The style is easy to read, but he also has a very powerful way with one liners that are often an uncomfortable jolt back to reality. I would like to equip every parent of every boy I am likely to teach in the future with this book - because there is no doubt - this man is a genius !

Easy reading,

This review is from: Steve Biddulph's Raising Boys: Why Boys are Different - and How to Help Them Become Happy and Well-Balanced Men (Paperback)
I found this book to be well written and easy to read. It did not come across as a 'how to' manual but more of an anecdotal and light hearted reflection on various methods and ways of bringing up and parenting boys. You can cherry pick the methods and pieces that you might like to try and may work for you and I that is how I interpreted the content of the book. The author has an readable style and i found it reinforcing many of the ways I parent already which was a relief!!

A lovely,thoughtful book,
By Juliet Powell (Bellevue, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Boys: Why Boys are Different - and How to Help Them Become Happy and Well-Balanced Men (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from my sister(she has two boys, and I have one boy and two girls)and knew that I would have to get my own copy. This book, for a relatively short tome, is packed with anecdotes, ideas and a genuine sense of purpose.I found myself sometimes laughing, often knodding in agreement, and a couple of times crying. Mothers don't know what it's like to be male;this book goes a long way to guide us in the right direction for the long term benefit of our sons, our partners and our future grandsons.
