Raising Boys in the 21st Century by Steve Biddulph is an essential guide for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to navigate the challenges of raising boys in the modern era. This bestselling book has been significantly updated to address the needs of today’s society, promoting gender equality, respect, and a progressive understanding of masculinity while tackling the pervasive issue of toxic masculinity.

Biddulph delves into the intricacies of boys' development with cutting-edge science and practical advice. He discusses the pivotal 'physical fours', the 'emotional eights', and how to transform puberty into a positive experience. This comprehensive guide offers hundreds of practical tips, from understanding the different stages of a boy's physical and emotional growth to fostering their unique strengths and eccentricities.

No two boys are alike, and Biddulph underscores the importance of understanding each boy's unique personality and needs. The idea that ‘if we understand them, we can help them’ has resonated with over a million families globally, making this book a cherished and trusted resource.

With nearly 30 years of experience, Biddulph is one of Australia’s most prominent psychologists, having significantly impacted a generation of fathers and offering invaluable support to countless mothers. His dynamic approach has encouraged many fathers to take a more hands-on role in parenting, while empowering mothers with the confidence to raise their sons effectively. His expertise is further enriched through his work with schools in 17 countries and from the 130,000 parents who have attended his compelling live talks.

The acclaim for Biddulph's work is widespread:

‘Biddulph is electrifying’
- Telegraph

‘Biddulph is a spellbinder’
- 60 Minutes

This indispensable book is not just about raising boys but about raising them to be the kind of men the world needs - respectful, resilient, and emotionally intelligent. Whether you are already familiar with Biddulph's work or discovering it for the first time, Raising Boys in the 21st Century is a vital resource for nurturing the potential in every young boy.
