Decoding Boys: New Science Behind the Subtle Art of Raising Sons Paperback – February 9, 2021

I heard about this book from a coworker. I bough it for my brother and it’s very insightful. However, I think it’s best suited for mothers since they’ll gain insight on life as a boy. Now I need to find a book about raising girls as well!

I bought this for my boyfriend for him to help understanding his teenage son. I started reading it before him and had no idea what boys go through and what an early age it all happens! Asking him and other male friends they didn’t know either!I’ve recommended it to all my friends with boys in their lives starting up to the age of 7.So informative and helps you gain a little bit of strength in the times your child is being silent and acting like you know nothing!

Great

I recommend this book to all my friends with boys. I love the authors tone and the way she explains the science around how boys mature in the brain...informative without being condescending. I love having it on my shelf.

Every parent should read this book. She talks about everything a family for this generation should know and talk about.

It explains scientific concepts in normal language, and is very enlightening. I would recommend it to anyone raising a son.

I am reading as I am raising my grandson! Valuable info, into and not finished!

Don’t waste your money on this one. Not much useful information. I kept waiting for the author to get to the point and provide some actionable material, but it never appeared. Honestly, the preface was as useful as the entire book. Author was trying to balance between technical information and background for a lay person, but it didn’t work. I would’ve sent back, but returning books seems a little unsavory to me.

The media could not be loaded. Me recomendaron este libro para saber de qué forma decodificar a un adolescente hombre. Voy a la mitad del libro. Me encanta! Lo recomiendo muchísimo. Me llegó en un día.

I had sisters, no brothers; daughters, no sons; but I have 3 grandsons so the information in this book has been eye-opening. Plus so readable! I highly recommend.

Written by a paediatrian, this book has way more detail on the biology of hormones and brain development than I needed. It’s useful message is that it’s good to talk openly to teenage boys about difficult topics. But I didn’t find the practical advice for how to do this very useful or enlightening. This book is probably so overhyped because there is so little written on the subject.
