For more than a decade, international specialist parent psychologist Megan de Beyer has held courses at many independent boys\u2019 schools in SA, as well as the USA, UK and Australia. Strong Mothers \u2013 Strong Sons<\/strong> is a course designed to help those mums (read all of us!) who find parenting a teen boy stressful, challenging, confusing. And every now and then downright frightening; very often completely heart-breaking. Down-to-earth, honest, enlightening, the courses are massively helpful and popular.<\/p>\n

Now Megan has put together her knowledge, advise and lessons into How to Raise A Man<\/strong> \u2013 the modern mother\u2019s guide to parenting her teenage son. It\u2019s crammed with everything from how to have better parenting conversations to crippling parenting mistakes we may be making to respecting the bro rules, along with handling anger (his and ours), things all boys must learn and how to change our parenting style. There\u2019s a chapter of helping us decide what kind of mums we are, and information on all the issues that we have to face \u2013 sex and alcohol, addiction and porn, sexting and defiance (and for all of those who\u2019re reading and thinking \u2018not my boy\u2019 \u2026 you\u2019re probably wrong!).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve a teen, or an about-to-be-teen boy, we guarantee this will be the one book you won\u2019t regret buying. Penguin<\/a>, R230<\/em>.<\/p>\n
