Does anyone have any recommendations on books for raising boys - I've read Raising Boys by Steve ? We're having behaviour problems with our 3 year old and was hoping to get an insight into the world of boys for some guidence

I'm not sure about the boys thing in particular - i read that book too and to tell the truth, didn't find it all that helpful, but have just started Toddler Taming and am LOVING it. very insightful and I am finding it helping me cope with the boys on rough days, even after only three chapters. so can recommend that thoroughly,.....and it's available on OhBabyonline store!

Awesome book written by Celia Lashlie but don't know the title. Its more directed at teenage boys but great at ubderstanding them. As a teacher of boys....I love it and she did great research at a number of boys schools around New Zealand.

Yeah that other book is called Growing Great Boys by Ian Grant. We were given a copy by my mother in law (who raised 3 boys on her own). I haven't read it all yet but she reckons it's got some great tips in it.
