| 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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
