Practical, well rounded guidance

I enjoyed this book more than several other parenting books that I’ve read, mainly because it canvassed a good variety of topics and had information which could be applied to young and slightly older kids. There are helpful and practical suggestions as to what we can try with our boys and what to be aware of.

Not bad, but could be better.

It would be a pretty good book if not for the woke bs. Like why does a parenting book opening with an aboriginal welcome to country?

Also there are annoying audio glitches about a third of the way in, and for most of the chapter.

In general I think the book is good. I can’t wait for this fad of woke virtue signalling to be over, it’s an annoying distraction in this book. This book won’t age well.

If you’re woke this book is for you.

It is cringeworthy listening how the author worded the book as to not offend anyone. The message is lost in the book’s virtue signalling woke-ness. It scares me that people like this are considered experts on the matter.

Appalling dangerous material

WARNING. DO NOT LISTEN! This book should be banned. It promotes gender fluidity. A title should be: how to raise defective girls out of boys. Weaving good advice into this horrible trash, does not make it OK. This is not OK. I will report abuse.
