Product Description

Product Description
In "Growing Great Boys", parenting guru Ian Grant shows how to work with the essential character of boys using understanding and emotional support to raise passionate, hard-working, sensitive, funny, fearless and strong men. "Growing Great Boys" is brimming with practical advice on raising sons from the vital preschool years through to the challenge of teens. With chapters on the roles of mums and dads, and on the special challenges faced by single parents, plus hot tips, quotes and action labs to encourage parents to take a hands-on approach, this book will help you to coach your son to succeed in the game of life.

From the Author
This book came out of the need Mary and I saw while presenting our Parents Inc Hot Tips seminars to over 179,000 parents in the last thirteen years.
Life styles are so much more pressued now and parents want clear concised practical ideas that work.
Mothers need to know your love is wasted on your son if you have not got his respect.
Men would rather be unloved than disrespected, that is true with your son.
Boys need to hear 'Can do talk'.
Everyday they need to hear "You've got what it takes"
So never rescue your son.
Rather say,"That's a problem, how can I help you solve it?"
Boys need to now three things:
Who is in charge?
What are the rules?
Will they be enforced in a fair way?
'Growing Great Boys' will show you how to teach your son Functional behaviour ie Feel - Think - Act
Too many boys are into dysfunctional behaviour: Feel- Act.
It will show you how to grow a young man you will be proud to launch on to the world stage at eighteen.
It also covers many things such as the two most important things in parenting boys Fun and Communication.
I work 32 yrs with teenagers and when Mary and I started Parents Inc we wanted to help parents get their children prepared for the "White Water Rapids" years of teenagers, it starts the moment your son is born.
I want you to enjoy your adult son as I do with my two sons, it's worth the effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can anything good come out of New Zealand?, 14 Feb 2008
By Ian Cameron (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Absolutely. Growing Great Boys is an excellent guide for parents trying to raise boys. Ian Grant's book is filled with helpful information about what makes boys 'tick', from toddler to teenager, as well as practical ideas for helping them develop at different stages of their lives.
For example, the chapter on pre-school years helps the reader to think about what his son should (ideally) be like when he reaches the age of two. Grant gives tips on how to deal with the strong-willed boy, the shy boy, the importance of saying no sometimes, and many other practical tips.
I was given this book after the birth of our son in 2007. It is without doubt the most informative and helpful book of any that I have read. I fully commend it to anyone who's looking for help in raising his or her son to be a considerate, wise and selfless man. You will not regret buying this book - it is excellent.

This is without doubt the best boys book I have ever read!
As a mother of three little boys, I constantly need inspiration and encouragment at how to parent our boys creatively.
Grant gives you everything you need in this pithy, straight-talking book.
Packed with practical, fun ideas. You will have to steal it back from your husbands night stand.
Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really lovely book, with some great advice, 13 Jun 2009
By Mrs. A. C. Nolan "Alex Nolan" (Andover, Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A really lovely book. I have had my nose in it since it arrived (at lunchtime) and cannot put it down. There seem to be some very wise words, that although blindingly obvious initially, upon reflection I hadn't thought about it and I'm glad this book has pointed it out to me. Thank you!
