I really enjoyed this book and constantly refer to my marked pages. My
favourite part was all the great ideas for starting your own traditions,
we have far too many in this day and culture! Awesome book for mums to
understand boys better and dads to realise just how important they are
in their sons life. Highly recommended!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Growing Great Boys. Extremely reassuring
for solo parents, great advice with detailed examples of how to cope in
different situations. It’s the best parenting book I’ve come across,
and I refer to it regularly as my 3 year old boy grows.
My mum bought me this, its pretty good, and it definatley shows how different raising boys can be, i like the quick tips
This one of my favorite books. II thoroughly enjoy this book. I raced
through it and was eager to share my learning with those around me. A
fantastic book especially for first-time parents like me.
what a fantastic book
I am so glad I got hold of a copy – its an excellent book to have on hand when you’ve got boys – an easy and fun read
This is a fantastic book full of practical ideas; highly recommended for
all those who have boys. Easy reading and great to refer back to;
certainly worth having a copy on hand if you have boys.
this is yet another great book from Ian Grant. Has a great section on single parenting for boys. Well worth buying
Another great book from Ian Grant. I’ll be disappointed when this guy
retires. He provides good practical advice in a funny way. It’s great
to find a book on parenting writen by a bloke – it just makes it more
accessible somehow. I’d recommend this to other dads out there.
