Narrado por: Maggie Dent

One of Australia's favourite boy experts on how to help teen boys to develop into good men.

For boys, adolescence can be a confusing minefield and parents are often bewildered as to how to best guide their precious sons.

Many parents wake one day to find that their beautiful little boys have grown into silent, withdrawn, sometimes angry and often unmotivated tweens and teens.

Well-known Australian author, parenting and resilience educator, and one of Australia's favourite boy experts Maggie Dent, offers parents and guardians a compassionate and practical guidebook, packed with advice and ground-breaking techniques on how to stay calm and:

- Communicate effectively to defuse conflict
- 'Unstick' an unmotivated son
- Teach them to cope with loss and failure, and how to recover
- Help them foster healthy friendships and intimate relationships
- Navigate technology and the digital world.

From Boys to Men empowers parents with insights, tips and a common-sense approach to help all boys - and their families - thrive as they progress through adolescence, offering hope for a future of adventure, stability, engagement and connection.

Featuring a Foreword by Michael Gurian

Great advice - Terrible production

Loved the up to date information & advice. Appreciated the dangers of over exposure to Gaming / screen time. We have an 11 year old who isn’t sporty though, so finding his surfing equivalent will be tough.
What let’s this down so much is the production. The performance feels like it hasn’t been edited at all - Maggie will read a line wrong, clear her throat, and read it again. This happens multiple times.
If you going to charge full price for an audiobook, at least pay for someone to listen to it and fix the mistakes prior to release.

Couldn't finish it

I very much disagree with her take so many issues. As a conservative Christian I found the book to go against the way I see the world, what's causing issues, and what should be done about it. The very things being promoted and discussed are actually part of the problem and what has landed us in the mess countries are facing today. There are good points so it's not all rubbish, but I couldn't get past the underlying theme and had to stop listening.
