About the book ‘Raising Boys in the Twenty-First Century’
First published in 1995, Raising Boys was an instant bestseller and to date has sold over a million copies worldwide.
Few books have stayed in the hearts and minds of parents everywhere as much as Raising Boys. Now in an increasingly complicated and nuanced world, raising boys to become emotionally strong, kind and resilient men is even more important and relevant. In response to calls from parents around the world Steve Biddulph has completely updated and revised his seminal work to include all the latest international information and advice for parents on all the key issues of today.
The Fathering Project strongly recommends reading Steve’s book ‘Raising Boys in the Twenty-First Century’.
Every Friday, we’ll be publishing a new podcast episode to keep you entertained and inspired, no matter what kind of week you’ve had. Look forward to kicking back and enjoying a bit of a banter with an Australian icon, sports hero or other familiar face as we ask them about fathering, family and fame.
