What Hacker News says
- My wife, an expert in early years education, was mightly impressed with raising boys by steve biddulph.
- I found both "Manhood" and "Raising Boys" by Steve Biddulph ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Biddulph ) interesting reads. I can't say I agreed with everything in them, but they were thought provoking with the obligatory "that's obvious... why hadn't I thought of that already?" moments of a well written book.
If you happen to be Christian I also found "Healing the Masculine Soul" (Dalby, http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Masculine-Soul-Restoration-Man... ) helpful, but it is both explicitly Christian and theology heavy.
Edit: sorry, posted this in reply to the wrong comment by mistake.
- Had a random moment and posted my pointers as a reply to the wrong parent ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2300374 ).
To reiterate I found both "Manhood" and "Raising Boys" by Steve Biddulph ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Biddulph ) and "Healing the Masculine Soul" (Dalby, http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Masculine-Soul-Restoration-Man... ) helpful, although be warned that the last book is explicitly Christian in viewpoint.
