Hello again! Out of lurkdom and into commenting on a daily basis!!!
I too am increasingly suspicious of parenting books. This book is more of a psychology book - the psychology of boys for the layperson! And having grown up with three sisters (the only male company my dad had was our cat) and also being interested in how the brain works, I have found this book really useful.
The other benefit, especially for one who is time poor, is that Biddulph writes in a very engaging way. It is a REALLY easy and quick read. You could knock it off in a couple of evenings I would think.
It was a popular book when it first came out... you would probably be able to snap it up at a library if you have a spare moment... :-)
I'd be interested to know what you think if you read it.
