"A clear, succinct, scientific explanation" (Deepak Chopra) of the twenty-five hot-button issues that keep today's parents up at night. Why do kids today have more allergies? Is it safe to let a child use a cell phone? Are the dangers posed by sunscreen outweighed by its protective value? Do vitamins and supplements really make a difference? These are just a few of the thousands of concerns hotly debated on the playground and in the media-but parents still lack objective knowledge on what's truly safe for their kids. In this essential guide, experienced pediatrician and mother of two Dr. Cara Natterson clearly explains what to avoid, which so-called "dangerous" products are completely safe, and outlines what she does at home. A classic in the making, Worry Proof is unlike any other guide out there and will ease parental fears in an era of spiraling hysteria.

Decoding Boys: New Science Behind the Subtle Art of Raising Sons

When boys enter puberty, they tend to get quiet—or at least quieter than before—and parents often misread their signals. Here’s how to navigate their retreat and steer them through this confusing passage, by the bestsellingauthor of The Care and Keeping of You series and Guy Stuff: The Body Book for Boys. “For rational, evidence-based advice on how to talk to your son about every internal and external force he’ll experience from fourth grade through college, Cara Natterson’s zippy, bighearted Decoding Boys is the guide you need.”—The New York Times What is my son doing behind his constantly closed door? What’s with his curt responses, impulsiveness, newfound obsession with gaming, and . . . that funky smell? As pediatrician and mother of two teenagers Cara Natterson explains, puberty starts in boys long before any visible signs appear, and that causes confusion about their changing temperaments for boys and parents alike. Often, they also grow quieter as they grow taller, which leads to less parent-child communication. But, as Natterson warns in Decoding Boys, we respect their increasing “need” for privacy, monosyllabic conversations, and alone time at their peril. Explaining how modern culture mixes badly with male adolescent biology, Natterson offers science, strategies, scripts, and tips for getting it right: • recognizing the first signs of puberty and talking to our sons about the wide range of “normal” through the whole developmental process • why teenagers make irrational decisions even though they look mature—and how to steer them toward better choices • managing video game and screen time, including discussing the unrealistic and dangerous nature of pornography • why boys need emotional and physical contact with parents—and how to give it in ways they’ll accept • how to prepare boys to resist both old and new social pressures—drugs, alcohol, vaping, and sexting • teaching consent and sensitivity in the #MeToo culture Decoding Boys is a powerful and validating lifeline, a book that will help today’s parents keep their sons safe, healthy, and resilient, as well as ensure they will become emotionally secure young men. Praise for Decoding Boys “Comforting . . . a common-sensical and gently humorous exploration of male puberty's many trials.”—Kirkus Reviews

 Review 
“We know boys need our support to grow up safe, healthy, happy, and emotionally whole. But how do we provide that when faced with their adolescent silence? 
Decoding Boys to the rescue! Dr. Natterson’s practical, wise insight (undergirded by hard science) into young men’s development is absolutely essential reading for anyone with a boy in their life!” 
—Peggy Orenstein, author of Boy & Sex 
“ 
Decoding Boys offers remarkable scientific insight as to why teenage boys seem to shut down and behave antisocially once they enter puberty. We would say we wish this book was around when we were teenagers, but we were too busy playing videogames, underage drinking, and lying to our parents to read.” 
—Nick Kroll & Andrew Goldberg, co-creators of Big Mouth “Fifty years ago the publication of Our Bodies, Ourselves lifted women up by replacing ignorance and prejudice with knowledge and the power of sisterhood. Decoding Boys is equally revolutionary in its mission to help us understand the nuances of how boys develop. Natterson’s warm, candid, and conversational style gives us a vibrant, page-turning deep dive into both their emotional and physical growth; hers is an authoritative and passionate voice. I finished reading this book enlightened and excited to share it with parents of boys everywhere.” 
—Wendy Mogel, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and The Blessing of a B Minus "Decoding Boys debunks the widespread myth of the inscrutable teenage boy. Dr. Cara Natterson illuminates boys' inner lives, details the pressures they face from the outside world, and teaches parents how to effectively engage and support their adolescent sons. Decoding Boys is clear, wise, and eye-opening. If you're raising

¿ Qué hace mi hijo detrá s de su puerta constantemente cerrada? ¿ Qué pasa con sus respuestas bruscas, impulsividad, nueva obsesió n por los juegos y...? . . ¿ Ese olor extrañ o? Como explica Cara Natterson, pediatra y madre de dos adolescentes, la pubertad comienza en los niñ os mucho antes de que aparezcan signos visibles, y eso causa confusió n sobre los cambios de temperamento tanto en los niñ os como en los padres. A menudo, tambié n se vuelven má s silenciosos a medida que crecen, lo que conduce a una menor comunicació n entre padres e hijos. Pero, como advierte Natterson en Decoding Boys, respetamos su creciente " necesidad" de privacidad, conversaciones monosilá bicas y tiempo a solas bajo su propio riesgo. Al explicar có mo la cultura moderna se mezcla mal con la biologí a de los adolescentes masculinos, Natterson ofrece ciencia, estrategias, guiones y consejos para hacerlo bien:* reconocer los primeros signos de la pubertad y hablar con nuestros hijos sobre la amplia gama de aspectos "normales" a lo largo de todo el proceso de desarrollo* por qué los adolescentes toman decisiones irracionales aunque parezcan maduros y có mo orientarlos hacia mejores opciones* gestionar los videojuegos
