⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I laughed out loud so many times. Suzy tells it like it is — this is the survival manual every boy mom needs.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“What a delight! Suzy Shaw has created a book that is a joy to read- packed with wisdom, humor and practical tips- with topics that range from “Don’t Bite” and “Firecrackers and Rockets” to “Navigating adolescent anguish” and “Teaching young boys how to treat girls.” She brilliantly organizes the book in chronological order of the boys growth as well as hers as a mother. Each phase brings different challenges, after all. It’s also a gorgeous book to read, the illustrations are funny, point and sweet. Loved it!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“It will make you laugh at some of the stories but it is full of thought provoking advice that can help you through your child rearing journey. Meant for mothers of boys but good advice for parenting in general. I am sending this to all the MOBs that I know!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Mothers of Boys Survival Guide is a book full of sensible insights on parenting boys. It is written with warmth, humor, and openness. If you are looking for practical advice from a “big sister,” you have found it!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Mothers of Boys Survival Guide is a humorous read embedded with great suggestions. As a mother of 2 adult sons, I could whole heartedly relate to this book. I wish I had some of Suzy Shaw’s advice as I was raising my boys! As a grandmother of 5, 3 of which are boys/young men, I will share this book with my sons & daughters-in-law. With my oldest grandson headed off to college this coming Fall, I think this will offer some valuable information to his parents as he starts that next chapter of his life.
Highly Recommend.”
