Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Raising Boys

by Billy Garvey

Every parent wants their child to grow into a kind, capable and emotionally healthy adult. But right now, many of us are worried about our boys.

With more than twenty years' experience as a developmental paediatrician, Dr Billy Garvey has supported thousands of families through their hardest moments. He sees boys who are anxious, angry, withdrawn or overwhelmed - and parents who desperately want to help but don't know where to begin. He knows there is no such thing as a 'bad' child - only children communicating a need.

In Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Raising Boys, Dr Billy combines the latest research, powerful clinical stories and practical strategies to help you understand what's really driving your son's behaviour - and exactly how to respond.

With Billy's guidance, you'll learn how to-
- respond to big emotions with confidence
- set boundaries without losing connection
- build empathy, resilience and emotional regulation
- support healthy identity and masculinity
- strengthen the bond that protects mental health for life.

Clear, compassionate and grounded in evidence, this is a hopeful roadmap for raising boys who feel safe, seen and understood - and who grow into emotionally strong, connected men.
