About this product

Product Information

Here's sensible advice and caring encouragement on raising boys from the nation's most trusted parenting authority, Dr. James Dobson. With so much confusion about the role of men in our society, it's no wonder so many parents and teachers are asking questions about how to bring up boys. Why are so many boys in crisis? What qualities should we be trying to instill in young males? Our culture has vilified masculinity and, as a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man.In the runaway bestseller Bringing Up Boys , Dr. Dobson draws from his experience as a child psychologist and family counselor, as well as extensive research, to offer advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles.

Great Book so far. Not finished with it yet.
In a society where women want power & independence, I think it is hard for men to be who God wants them to be. As a mom raised only by her mom, with no men really in her life growing up, it is hard for me to honor my own husband the way I should, let alone raise my son to be a strong Godly man who will one day be the spiritual leader in his home. I am looking forward to reading this book to glean some knowledge on this subject. Praise God for authors willing to put themselves out on a limb to make these topics available to us.

I like that this book delivers its message without watering it down. While the author specifically calls attention to the statistics of trying to raise boys without a strong father-figure, the strongest one I felt was how the number of jail inmates felt about their fathers. On Mother's Day one year, a greeting card company allowed all the inmates to choose a free card for their mothers, and the line for this event was long. The company thought to bring the event back for Father's Day, and not one inmate showed up to send a free card to their father. I'm a mom, but I know that fathers can make or break their children's futures. If you're a single mom and need advice, this book may make you feel helpless at first, but will give you guidance and encouragement as you read farther along.

Bringing Up Boys Insight
I have a young son and was searching for advice from a spiritual perspective on how I could better handle his behaviors. I did not have a younger brother nor grow up on a daily basis with a boy in the house...so everything he does is somwhat foreign to me. This book has helped me as I feel that Dr. Dobson is a trusted family counselor and that he has the experience to back up what he says. There were a few areas that I didn't agree with totally, but it was nice to see a different perspective. It has been a useful tool to give me insight into a boy's world...and it has helped handle situations and to know what is "normal" behavior and what issues need to be immediately addressed. This book will help anyone with boys from toddlers to teens in better handling the day to day hustle. Again, since it is from a Christian perspective, it makes it all the more important to me.Read full review

Bringing Up Boys
This book was a life saver for me. I was having trouble with my 14 year old son and a co-worker loaned me this book. I started reading and instantly found answers I needed. I really wanted my own book so that I could highlight important points so I went straight to ebay and found a buy-now and received it in 3 days. The book helped me to cope with certain typical situations, gave reassurance that it will pass and most importantly helped me realize most of what me and my son were going through is the normal process of being a boy and growing up. I would recommend this book to everyone that has a son or grandson and would also recommend reading it before problems arise to save you unneeded stress and heartache! Tiffany Mother of 4 boys

Bringing Up Boys
I really liked this book because any mother who grew up without brothers isn't used to what little boys are like. It makes the reader realize that their boys are not the only ones that are the way they are. I bought this book because of my three year old boy. I need all the help I can get, and this book made me realize what a boy needs to turn into a good man. I recommend that everyone reads it, even if you only have girls. It goes into what teenage and preteen boys think about in those awkward years. It would be especially good for fathers to read.
