Resumen del Editor

With so much confusion about the role of men in our society, it's no wonder so many parents and teachers are at a loss about how to bring up boys. Our culture has vilified masculinity, and as a result boys are suffering. Parents, teachers, and others involved in shaping the character of boys have many questions. In Bringing Up Boys, Dr. James Dobson, America's most trusted authority on family issues, tackles these questions and offers advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles. Bringing Up Boys is a must-hear book for parents, teachers, social workers, youth leaders, and counselors—anyone involved in the challenge of turning boys into good men.

Be the example...

This book is a good reminder that old fashioned values are good. I agree with the author that society has lost many of these values. This book was written years ago, yet its true...the elementary school produces several reading books about strong girls, and I’ve yet to see one about strong boys that aren’t goofy.

Great Insight

I enjoyed this book...Christian parents have a challenging job for sure as the enemy wants desperately to get our boys off track. Many will think the book is “old school” but I would challenge that thinking as we’re to be in the world, but not of it and as the culture declines we must find ourselves further from it, not sliding down with it. We need a heart for people and the lost, but must raise our kids very differently than the unbeliever. What Dr. Dobson shares is challenging and very helpful!

great!

this is such an eye opener to the world that we are living and raising our boys in. great book!

Wisdom for the Mature Mind

Wisdom, wisdom, wisdom. If you live in reality, this book will ring true. If you are easily offended by truth, then perhaps raising boys is not your thing.

Great knowledgeable resource

I enjoyed learning about raising children in today's society and found myself applying this knowledge immediately in life and in my classroom.

Glad I read this now instead

Glad I read this now instead of later. Later wouldn't be to late, I'm just glad I had the opportunity now.

Classic for parents from the pen of Dr. Dobson

Dr. James Dobson is a father as well as a professional. This classic book blends story, research and his own analysis.

excellent guidance for parents of boys

this is an excellent book to provide good Christian conservative guidance for parents of boys. I prefer dr. Dobson to do the narrating as he did in bringing up girls but this narrator did an excellent job and after Dobson did an excellent guidebook for parents. much of the content is highly controversial and flies in the face of modern culture but for our boys sake this is quite necessary. I highly recommend this book for parents of boys who are concerned about what this culture is doing to them.

Good Practices

Dr. Dobson has written this book so anyone can understand the ideas he has researched and practiced over the years. He focuses on principles based upon Christian values. Being involved in your boy's life, homeschooling, "tough love", and channeling their abundant energy. Much of his experience comes from his involvement in Focus on the Family. A Christian based organization focusing on marriage, parenting and families.

must read for parents of boys!

This book was encouraging, yet also honestly addressed the struggles we face today in our culture. I highly recommend this to parents of one or more boys!
