Decoding Boys: New Science Behind the Subtle Art of Raising Sons

Decoding Boys helps parents understand the confusing changes boys go through during puberty. Pediatrician Cara Natterson explains why sons often grow quieter, spend more time behind closed doors, and act impulsively. Using science and practical advice, she shows parents how to talk about puberty, guide better choices, set limits on gaming and screens, address sensitive issues like pornography, and prepare boys to handle peer pressure, consent, and relationships. With warmth and clarity, the book equips parents to support their sons’ health, emotions, and growth into confident young men.
