Ten Conversations You Must Have With Your Son
Making time to talk with your son is one thing; knowing what to talk about is another.
Every parent of a teenage boy knows there are certain conversations they must have with their son but often they put them off – or worse, don’t have them at all - because they simply don’t know where to start. Written by Dr Tim Hawkes, one of Australia’s top educators, Ten Conversations You Must Have With Your Son offers a practical, accessible and invaluable way to get these discussions started.
Dr Hawkes provides parents with the essential information they need to negotiate their way through what can often be very difficult territory about the why, what and how of ten key topics: love, identity, values, leadership, achievement, sex, money, health, co-habiting and resilience. Each topic has its own chapter and offers ideas about different ways for parents to share their own experiences and knowledge with their boys.
Having been a headmaster for twenty-five years and an internationally recognised expert in the field of raising and educating boys, Dr Hawkes is in a unique position to know what goes on inside the minds of teenage boys. He understands what they need to know to best prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities, challenges and demands that life will make on them.
Ten Conversations You Must Have With Your Son is the one book anyone with a teenage son should read to help them prepare him for adulthood.

Great framework for building conversations and sharing learning with our sons. Sprinkled with insightful anecdotes and helpful checklists and summaries. My son didn't come with a users guide but this is the next best thing. This is a book that I will return to again and again.
