5.0 out of 5 stars a parenting book that gets it right, December 27, 2009

This review is from: The Single Mother's Guide to Raising Remarkable Boys (Paperback)
What a beautiful book! The Single Mother's Guide to Raising Remarkable Boys is one of the finest new parenting books that I have seen in a while. The balanced and accurate summary of parenting research is a breath of fresh air. The advice is sensible and well grounded in both research and the experiences of parents. The affirmation of single mothers and the wonderful children they raise is overdue. An engaging writing style also makes the book a good read.
The Single Mother's Guide to Raising Remarkable Boys resonated with me both professionally and personally. Professionally, I have three advanced degrees in behavioral sciences and most of my research has involved parenting and child development. On a personal note, my own mother raised three boys and two girls as a single mother for many years. From both the professional and personal perspectives I must say that these authors got it right!
I can't think of any parent who wouldn't benefit from the view of parenthood presented here.

This is an excellent book and the title tells you exactly where the author excels. Written for busy, stressed-out single mothers who are trying to understand (?) and raise boys --- this book is hugely helpful.
After a long time when there didn't seem to be any books for us single moms --- now there is hope. I highly recommend this book to any woman who is raising sons, especially pre-adolescents or adolescents.
I also recommend the book listed below, which is here on Amazon too.

I am usually not a fan of pop psychology. However, this book provided some great tips for dealing with/approaching growing boys as a woman. it has been sort of invaluable.
