5.0 out of 5 stars Sane help for the future, 6 Oct 2003

By	Sheila (UK) - See all my reviews

Being a first time Mum to a baby boy, and over 40 so having grown up in a society where everything was "he", it has amazed me that most baby/toddler articles are now geared to "she". Not only do I have to deal with the usual problems of bringing up a child of a different sex, in a society so different from my own childhood, but the little boy seems to also face the same gender bias that we females faced. This book deals with the all these issues.

Jenni writes in a very readable, amusing manner, giving lots of advice without sounding presumptious. Yes, there are lots of challenges out there but she gives you 100% confidence that it is possible to nurture the kind of well-balanced, confident but caring male you always wished you would meet. She uses many examples from other parents of sons to give practical solutions to situations, and as these are often from well-known "names", this adds to the reality and interest. Jenni tackles a number of topics head on, however difficult and embarrassing they may be to any of the parties concerned. She leaves you with the feeling that you may not be able to change the world but this book will help you on the road to filling it with better balanced, all round young men.

I found this book far more helpful and reassuring than most of the books I had read before having young Peter. Oh and I now know how much work I need to do on the Dad - if only he would read the book too!

1.0 out of 5 stars Cashing in, 11 Jan 2004

By	Diane Forrest (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews

I found this book disappointing - it doesn't add anything that hasn't been said (years) before, and it seems in denial about some really useful findings about boys and girls differences in development. Really excellent books like Steve Biddulph's Raising Boys or Michael Gurian's Wonder of Boys really gave me something new to understand my sons, and has proven very helpful. Jenni Murray (the clue is in the sixties spelling of Jenni !) just rehashes 60's feminism - fine in itself, but a bit old hat, and much of the book seems like padding on a few core ideas. She isn't willing to live with the reality that boys and girls are often very different, and this does NOT mean stereotyping. Perhaps its because she doesn't have a daughter. Life is more complex than the one Jenni lives in. Journalists are not really equipped to write parenting books, yet they are always being sought after by publishers. I think the writer was just needing some extra cash, or desperate to feel relevant in a world that has passed her by.
Opinion mixed with wishful thinking and some patronizing humour does not make for good parental guidance, and I think this book can do more harm than good.

5.0 out of 5 stars an intelligent, down-to-earth book on boys, 25 Jun 2004

By	gigglyboots (UK) - See all my reviews

This book does everything it says on the tin! It basically covers what it's like to have a son, from the moment of birth to the moment when he leaves home. Jenni Murray shares her experiences and those of other (mostly celebrity) parents but never expects everyone else to see things the same way. What she does do is provoke thought and discussion.
