The guide every parent of boys has been waiting for, from the international bestselling author of 10 Things to Know About Your Child's Mental Health

Every parent wants their child to grow into a kind, capable and emotionally healthy adult. But right now, many of us are worried about our boys.

With more than twenty years' experience supporting families through developmental, emotional and behavioural difficulties, Dr Billy Garvey has supported thousands of families through their hardest moments. He sees boys who are anxious, angry, withdrawn or overwhelmed – and parents who desperately want to help but don't know where to begin. He knows there is no such thing as a 'bad' child – only children communicating a need.

In 10 Things to Know About Raising Boys, Dr Billy combines the latest research, powerful clinical stories and practical strategies to help you understand what's really driving your son's behaviour, and exactly how to respond.

With Billy's guidance, you'll learn how to:


  • Respond to big emotions with confidence
  • Set boundaries without losing connection
  • Build empathy, resilience and emotional regulation
  • Support healthy identity and masculinity
  • Strengthen the bond that protects mental health for life


Clear, compassionate and grounded in evidence, this is a hopeful roadmap for raising boys who feel safe, seen and understood – and who grow into emotionally strong, connected men.

Dr Billy Garvey is a developmental paediatrician with over 20 years’ experience working with children in a number of settings. He is a senior specialist at one of the largest tertiary paediatric hospitals in the world where he sees families, trains clinicians and other professionals working with children, as well as conducting research on child development and mental health. He is also the founder of Guiding Growing Minds, a social enterprise that aims to give all children the opportunity to reach their potential and live rich and meaningful lives. His podcast, Pop Culture Parenting, is part of this vision.
