   Summary: Moms and Dads Must Read
Even if you are a man, this book is a MUST read for anyone who has a boy or works with boys (teachers, coaches, etc). My husband and I read this in anticipation of the birth of our boy (I am 6 months pregnant) and we can't stop discussing what we've learned!

Biddulph takes you through the key stages in a boy's development, explaining in an easy to read format what can be done to assist boys in learning and developing into healthy, happy people. He explains the difference between what girls need and what boys need and how to help boys reach their potential.

After you read this, you will be like us - you will be buying this for everyone you know who is around boys! The best I've read on the subject. Can't wait to read his other books...

   Summary: Must-have book! I'm 1/2 finished reading this book and
am very impressed. The format of this book is pleasing to read. The main points will be easy to reference as my boy grows. Scientific facts are used to make major points on how moms and dads should approach their boys at different ages. The author has definite opinions on how to raise a wonderful boy but doesn't shove them down your throat. His views are refreshing and make a lot of sense to me. I think this is a must-have book for parents.

 Rating 4   Written on August 26, 2002
   Summary: Pretty good review of boyhood...
The stories are enchanting, and the information interesting. This is not a "how to" book, however. Instead, it is a general overview with many particular examples and explanations. The author's recommendations are straightforward and affirming, to fathers, mothers, and sons. He cares for and accepts the foibles and modes of boyhood. Biddulph has a whole chapter on the effects of testosterone, and I thought that was a little overdone, since our humaneness, as he notes many times later in the book, is not biologically determined.

 Rating 5   Written on July 9, 2002
   Summary: Good advice backed up with scientific studies
This book is well written and offers insight into the working brains of boys. "Raising Boys" defines the scientifically proven differences (chemical, emotional, physiological, etc) between boys and girls and why boys need special considerations to thrive. And most importantly, the book follows with practical advice on how to apply the ideal environment for boys.

 Rating 4   Written on May 31, 2002
   Summary: An Informative and Easy Read
I found this book very helpful in understanding the developmental needs of boys as they mature through the three different stages the author describes. In addition, it addressed issues specific to the single mother which is an enlightening trend. A nice aid in guiding positive development, especially for Moms!
