Written by a paediatrician, this book is aimed at pubescent and adolescent boys. Read more about it in our selection of best books of 2021 for teens. Ages 11+
Paediatrician Ranj Singh has written a reassuring guide to concerns that are common to many adolescent boys. The book doesn’t go into depth on any of the topics; its strength is that it is very up to date. Topics covered include the physical changes that come with puberty, advice on looking after your body, mental health awareness, healthy relationships and friendships, an introduction to sex and consent, social media and online safety. This book provides a useful framework for parents and carers who feel it is time to have this kind of conversation with their boys but are unsure how to start.
