Book Reviews of Raising Confident Boys: 100 Tips for Parents and Teachers

Book Review: Must-have nightstand reference for all parents of boys!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is just a FANTASTIC book for parents of boys! It is exceptionally easy to read, and loaded with useful advise.

I really like the format of the book. Each chapter is centered around a particular subject (examples include Understanding His Challenges and Opportunities, Meeting His Needs, and Giving Him a Postitive View of Himself). The chapters begin with a concise (1-2 page) overview of the subject area and its importance, then specific examples and tips follow for how to deal with that subject, with bullet list recommendations for parents and for teachers. Each of the subjects are those of the utmost importance with respect to boys, how they view themselves, and how their self-image shapes who they become. I have found every tip to be extremely insightful, and the recommendations both useful and usable. I will be keeping this book close at hand, and will refer to it again and again.

Summary of Raising Confident Boys: 100 Tips for Parents and Teachers

Boys need to be noticed, admired, understood, and accepted to feel good about themselves. Boys who lack appropriate emotional support from the adults close to them are at risk of believing they don't fit in and are likely to act accordingly, engaging in risky behaviors-including at worst using drugs and acting out violently. Raising Confident Boys teaches readers what makes boys prone to low self-esteem and provides practical, effective tips for managing these situations as they arise.
