Decoding Boys by Cara Natterson
New Science Behind the Subtle Art of Raising Sons
A pediatrician unpacks how puberty is changing for boys today and guides parents through the physical, emotional, and social shifts that shape adolescence. Drawing on medical research and real-world stories, it explains hormones, brain development, mood swings, risk-taking, and the influence of screens, social media, and pornography. It offers practical, age-appropriate scripts to start tough conversations about bodies, consent, sex, hygiene, mental health, and substance use, while emphasizing empathy, boundaries, and connection. The goal is to help caregivers decode behavior, reduce conflict, and support boys in becoming healthy, confident young men.
