I decided to buy Bringing Up Boys after hearing some of Dr. Dobson's radio programs and dealing with some of my son's troubling behavior. After reading the book, I realized that his behavior was not unusual for a boy, it was just unusual from a girl's perspective! Dr. Dobson's writing style is very attention grabbing from the moment the first page is read. I laughed outloud at some of the real-life "little boy stories" that he relayed. This book gave me understanding of the male mind and soul and how our current culture is trying to twist the male persona into something it was never intended to be....female. Overall, this book is great and I highly recommend it to anyone with boys. However, I was a little disappointed that most of the content was very general and philosophical and did not include concrete methodologies. I guess maybe I was looking for an owner's manual!!!:)Read full review
I originally read this 10 years ago. I recommend this for anyone who is raising boys, including grandparents of boys.

This Christian based book is for anyone raising a BOY. It stresses the importance of raising boys to be men. It gives practical examples of how to start conversations of sexuality at a young age and keep talking through adulthood. It has many funny stories about how boys and girls think and act so differently. This book is a WINNER! (Any Book by James Dobson is) My only suggestion is to BUY THE HARDCOVER if it is affordable. You will want to keep this book for a long term reference. It is a GOOD one!
This book will OPEN YOUR EYES to the wonderful world of Boys! NOTHING like Girls! He will help you understand that you are NOT ALONE and you will be amazed at with the way Mr. Dobson KNOWS what you are going through. I HIGHLY recommend this book for ALL PARENTS with sons! AND this would make a LOVELY gift for the NEW PARENTS to be able to learn while they are small the BEST and smartest way to RAISE A BOY! EXCELLENT BOOK! Mr Dobson will point out the TRUTH that Boys WILL Be Boys and the story that goes with that saying! There is MUCH MORE to it!
This is a great book. I bought this book to share with a friend who has 2 boys.
