From the bestselling author of Raising Boys.
A word of mouth bestseller which has become one of the best loved
and most successful books in the parenting field. With around 20%
new material, Steve Biddulph’s Raising Boys includes 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. Boys need to be parented in a
different way from girls with their own very special psychological
and physical make-up. Home, society and education have failed boys
badly – and these failures lead to unhappy men who cannot fully
become happy, responsible, emotionally-confident adults. While it
is essential that boys spend more time learning about manhood from
their fathers, Biddulph updates his classic to include helpful
information for mothers and single mothers with baby boys. This
extended edition explores some important topics: . • How ADHD may
be caused by stress in the first year of life. • Whether boys
should start school later than girls. • How important it is to
let boys cry, and how crying helps avoid violence, suicide, and
risky behaviour. • Two completely new stages of boyhood we
didn’t know about: the FULL ON FOURS and the EMOTIONAL EIGHTS •
Help for single mothers raising sons. • How to choose a sport
that does more good than harm. • What we can do about boys and
binge drinking. • What science can tell us about teenage boys and
driving – and how we can keep our sons safe. Raising Boys offers
parents real-life situations, thought-provoking insights, humour
and help.
The sequel to The Secret of Happy Children - which has sold over 1
million worldwide. This book helps parents communicate with
children from babyhood to teens. A book which covers a wide age
group from toddlers to older children and covers new key issues
such as: * 'soft love': the power of touch and praise and giving
time and the 'firm love' which allows you to discipline (this is
not about giving punishment but about teaching and getting
involved... without hurt or fear) * the childcare issue - Steve
believes that long day care of children under 3 in an institutional
setting, like a creche will give kids a deprived childhood
experience. He talks about finding a balance and what to do if you
have no choice * Raising boys and raising daughters
Steve Biddulph's Raising Boys was a global phenomenon. The first
book in a generation to look at boys' specific needs, parents loved
its clarity and warm insights into their sons' inner world. But
today, things have changed. It's girls that are in trouble. There
has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls' mental
health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years.
Raising Girls in the 21st Century is both a guidebook and a
call-to-arms for parents. The five key stages of girlhood are laid
out so that you know exactly what matters at which age, and how to
build strength and connectedness into your daughter from infancy
onwards. Raising Girls in the 21st Century is both fierce and
tender in its mission to help girls more at every age. It's a book
for parents who love their daughters deeply, whether they are
newborns, teenagers, young women - or anywhere in between. Feeling
secure, becoming an explorer, getting along with others, finding
her soul, and becoming a woman - at last, there is a clear map of
girls' minds that accepts no limitations, narrow roles or
selling-out of your daughter's potential or uniqueness. All the
hazards are signposted - 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. Steve talks to the world's leading voices on girls'
needs and makes their ideas clear and simple, adding his own humour
and experience through stories that you will never forget. Even the
illustrations, by Kimio Kubo, provide unique and moving glimpses
into the inner lives of girls. Along with his fellow psychologists
worldwide, Steve is angry at the exploitation and harm being done
to girls today. With Raising Girls in the 21st Century he strives
to spark a movement to end the trashing of girlhood; equipping
parents to deal with the modern world, and getting the media off
the backs of our daughters. Raising Girls in the 21st Century is
powerful, practical and positive. Your heart, head and hands will
be strengthened by its message.
Steve Biddulph, the favourite number one name in parenting
psychology – and bestselling author of Raising Boys – examines
how different childcare options are likely to affect you and your
child in this rivetting and highly topical book This topical book
tackles a key issue all new parents face. Steve Biddulph looks at
childcare choices and the dilemmas that so often arise: - ‘I want

‘if other people look after my child will it affect its
development and happiness?’ It examines the two-income ‘slaves
to work’ culture in the UK and how in the past ten years, the
number of babies and toddlers under three who are spending all day

live their lives could be damaging to a whole new generation’s
mental stability and development. The book is an eye-opener in
terms of child development and provides useful case studies from
parents who are stay-at-home and those using all-day or part-time
childcare – groups sociologists have named ‘slammers’ and
‘sliders’ respectively.
