American Medical Association Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen Review
User Submitted American Medical Association Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen ReviewsDecember 21, 2008 Mandatory reading for boys Excellent book for the preteen and teenage boy. Raises good questions and gives great resources. I only wish I had written this book. December 14, 2008 Boy's Guide to Becoming a teen This is well written and my 11 year old got it completely. Along with a parental discussion, this is a great way to introduce your tween to the facts of life. July 8, 2008 Perfect For a TWEEN Boy This book was perfect for our son who just turned 10 and was starting puberty. It answered every single question he may have wanted to ask us but was too embarrassed or afraid. I would recommend this book to every mother/parent who has a son & would recommend that you read it first. Some of the content will be a review for your son - other content will be new!! I am so glad I found this book- it really explained what was happening to his body. Everthing from pimples, shaving, jock itch, etc. March 29, 2008 Teen Book I purchased this book for my son and he liked it alot. This book made it easy for him to talk to me about issues he had allready. I recommend this book its down to the point but not in a bad way. February 12, 2008 Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen I bought this book for my 10 year old. I was very pleased with the way it explained things. I read the book to him and answered any questions that he had as we went along. He did not have very many, because it was explained very well. However, there is a part in the book I did not read to him, which is the reason why I did not let him read the book by himself. The part touches on sex, which I don't have a problem with except for the fact that it explained oral and anal sex, and I don't feel like a 10 year old should know about things like that. January 8, 2008 A Good Guide With Good Messages I bought this for a gift for a boy about to turn 13. I looked it over before actually giving it and was impressed. It was a good mix of information presented -- not just the biology of what is happening but also emotional and social changes. There were even sections about dealing with bullies and how your friendships may change as you grow. The wording was matter of fact, but casual enough to appeal to a tween. I liked the message that waiting to have sex was the best choice, and the book substantiated this message with the reasons why. I think when the time comes for my own children to start reading up on these topics I'd like to supplement this with something that goes into more detail about the biology -- but this is a great overview. January 7, 2008 Great book for "almost teens" I got this book for my 10 year old son. It is a good book with all the "needed" information, but yet isn't too detailed on things they don't need to know about YET. It was very well written & I think it a good starting point for families w/young boys. January 2, 2008 Perfect for a pre-teen This book is well-written, informative, and to the point. We bought it for our nephew who is an only son in a single mother raised household. We read through the book before giving it to him and thought it was the perfect book for a pre-teen boy. We highly recommend it! January 1, 2008 It's got some good, and some not so good Great information, presented at their level. HOWEVER... there are things in there that I objected to, especially boy on boy crushes. Not what we expected. We will, however, use it to speak about morality all the way around. Curfew and a few other things kind of get off topic, and are not something that this book should be interfering with as far as parenting goes. We felt that it was trying to do so. October 11, 2007 Great Book!! If you are looking for a book to help explain the changes that boys will endure as they enter puberty, this is the book to get! The layout is wonderful and it thoroughly explains everything. There is just enough information to answer any questions boys may have. I reviewed this with my son (who is 13) and he felt more at ease knowing some of the things that have, or will start, to happen to him are "normal." He especially was receptive to the fact that he will start to grow taller (as he is on the short side) with puberty. Overall, I highly recommend it!!
