Sarah’s books are amazing - I have recommended her Gentle Sleep book more times than I can remember! Evidence based information for parents who want to parent gently, with boundaries.

Resharing for those the algorithm didn’t show it to!

I'm delighted to introduce you to the cover for my next book; 'How to Raise a Gentle Man'.

I wrote this book as a mum of 3 young men appalled by what's happening to our boys (and as a result girls) today.

For a few years, I've been asking "What can we do about the boys? How can we vaccinate them against the manosphere and incel movements? How do we decrease the shocking su1c1de statistics in young men?, How do we reduce growing levels of misogyny?" These questions escalated after Netflix's Adolescence was released. This book is my answer...

It doesn't matter how old your son (or boys you teach) are. It applies equally to baby boys, as it does to those teenagers and young adult. It applies to all types of families too, including single mums and two mum (or dad) families.

Here's a little more from the cover blurb:

From birth we treat boys differently to girls: we hold them less, talk to them less and discipline them more harshly.

Society is full of stereotyped masculinity and families often pass down inherited beliefs of what 'manliness' should look like.

How to Raise a Gentle Man is a book for any parent or carer who wants to break that cycle and for those who are fed up with boys being blamed for everything. Toxic masculinity doesn't just hurt women and girls, it hurts boys too.

Sarah Ockwell-Smith, bestselling childcare expert and mother to three young men, argues that the answer to raising kind, respectful and gentle boys is not to ban social media or access to the internet, lay the blame solely at the feet of the incel movement or misogynistic influencers or to introduce reactionary Governmental education policies as a response to Netflix dramas.

The only truly effective way to help our boys is through the way we raise them.

How to Raise a Gentle Man is a guide for concerned parents and carers who want to get to the root of the problem and help boys to thrive in the manosphere. Whether you're a parent to a newborn, a teacher to an eight year old, or raising a teenager, you'll find plenty of advice here for you.

It's out in the Spring!

I'd love to know if it sounds interesting to you?
