Book Reviews of What's Going on Down There?: Answers to Questions Boys Find Hard to Ask

Book Review: What a boy needs to know
Summary: 4 Stars

I've been separated for over 3 years, now going through a divorce, my oldest son is hitting puberty and he lives about 500 miles from me. I looked at three or four books in a bookstore before deciding on this one. I bought a copy for me in person and one for him from amazon.com so I could see exactly what he was referring to when we talked.

He read the whole book the first night he received it it. We talked about it the next night and he got most of the facts right. There are a few things he hasn't experienced yet but he's prepared for them. In addition to talks with me I can refer him back to specific parts of the book as he matures.

Content is solid, doesn't advocate any view points except to be aware and be cautious. It covers pretty much everything that an adolescent entering and going through puberty should be aware of. It has relevant detail without being graphic.

I'd recommend it not just for the "long-distance father" but also for pretty much any parent. It provides good information, can be a focal point for talking about the topic, and is a good lead in for further discussion.

Summary of What's Going on Down There?: Answers to Questions Boys Find Hard to Ask

Describes the physical and emotional changes that occur in boys (and, to a lesser extent, in girls) during puberty and discusses sexual activity, homosexuality, AIDS, and other related topics.
