Steve Biddulph offers a wealth of knowledge and practical advice based on years of experience as a family therapist. He does a fantastic job of explaining the unique developmental needs of boys, from early childhood through adolescence. I found his insights on testosterone, emotional expression, and the importance of play to be particularly valuable. The book is easy to read and filled with real-life examples and anecdotes. Biddulph's writing is both informative and engaging, making it a pleasure to read. If you're looking for guidance on raising happy, healthy, and well-adjusted boys, I highly recommend "Raising Boys, Third Edition." It's a valuable resource that I will continue to refer back to as my son grows. Review: MUST read if you have a son! - A positive guide on how boys are different from girls and require a divergent set of teaching needs and needs from parents. I found it to be an easy and wonderful read. Biddulph is incredibly insightful and provides some rarely-thought-of information on the growth and mental development of the human male. This is a fascinating to read about boys and men from a man's intellectual, heartfelt, and professional perspective.

I found it to be an easy and wonderful read. Biddulph is incredibly insightful and provides some rarely-thought-of information on the growth and mental development of the human male.

MUST read if you have a son! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ From a mother of three boys... *by C***Z on January 26, 2019* I came across this book because I felt like there might be parenting gaps I could fill with a book. There are the common sense things that I do as a mother (time, attention, love, etc) but I felt I needed some tips and tricks on how to get through to my boys. I don’t necessarily feel like this book gave me what I came looking for, but it did give me a lot of other insight on raising boys. Insight on what is important and when, how to talk to my boys as they get older, and timing of a boys life where I need to be in full supply of grace. I read a lot of reviews before picking this book. To me it seemed everyone was either 100% for it or 100% against it. I do feel very neutral. For those against, I read reviews stating there were no factual claims made, that the book encouraged mothers to teach masturbation, and that the author had nothing more to say than fathers shouldn’t beat wives. For that, I must say, you see what you fear. For those for, I read reviews about life changing advice. I didn’t see that either. It’s a quick easy read, so I’d say do it if you have the time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Raising Boys, Third Edition: Why Boys Are Different--and How to Help Them Become Happy and Well-Balanced Men - Strong Mothers, Strong Sons: Lessons Mothers Need to Raise Extraordinary Men - Raising Emotionally Strong Boys: Tools Your Son Can Build on for Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8366932-raising-boys-third-edition-why-boys-are-different-and-how](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8366932-raising-boys-third-edition-why-boys-are-different-and-how) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
