Product Description:
2002 Gold Medallion Award winner!
Sensible advice and caring encouragement on raising boys from the nation's most trusted parenting expert, 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 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 lots of questions. In Bringing Up Boys, Dr. Dobson tackles these questions and offers advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles.

Rating:  - A must read for conservative parents
This book offers great practical and biblical advices on how to raise a boy. If you are liberal parents, you are not going to like what he says. We are conservative Christian who are determined to raise our children with the right /godly values and appropriate discipline with unconditional love. This book is what I need.
Rating: - Review for "Bringing Up Boys" by James Dobson
I'm not completely finished reading this book yet, but it has had some good information about boys. I do think Dr. Dobson spends a too much time on the feminist movement of the 70s and how it has impacted boys/men. He seems to go on and on about this rather than focusing on how to best raise our boys. As I said, I'm not done with the book, but got a little disinterested and set it aside because of the above.
Rating:  - if you have no other resource....
I read this about 5 years ago (or so). I have 5 kids- 2 boys and I run a boys club at our kids school (club is for boys ages 5-15).
This book lacks a lot. It's really just poorly named. It should be entitled, "Being a parent in today's world," or something like that.
I can't say what other book I would recommend, but I'll just say that this book didn't offer much real substance on HOW to bring up boys.

Rating:  - A must have for parents with boys!
For every parent with boys, this book is a must read! Dr. James Dobson brilliantly discusses the challenges boys face in this world and how we as parents should deal with and handle our boys. The future of our young men is so important, and Dr. James Dobson educates the reader on how to help grow our boys into strong, respectful, spiritual men.
Rating:  - Virulent Anti-Gay and Homophobic
I was gifted with this book and after 20 pages I could not take it anymore. I love and respect the person that gave it to me...but it insulted my intelligence so much that I finally just put it in the heap (where it belongs).
It is totally UN-informative on raising a young man in today's world, and instead filled with Dobson's perverse and vitriolic disgust with anyone who is a not a squeaky clean Christian (which of course we know Dobson must be!!!) It's basically a gay-bashing and/or ... Read More
