Boys sometimes do things that their mothers don't understand, or they don't listen no matter how much they are scolded. This book is for mothers who don't understand why boys act that way, and it explains in detail the reasons and how to deal with them (how to speak to them and how to respond). 180 pages in total. I have read it a few times and kept it at home. There is a fold in the obi (sleeve), but otherwise, it is like new. It will be shipped in simple packaging (waterproof). I do not have any pets, and I am a non-smoker. Thank you for looking.
