Bringing Up Boys

Book Description:

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.

Parents, teachers, and others involved in shaping the character of boys have many questions:

• Are boys fundamentally different from girls? If so, how?
• What is a father's unique contribution to parenting a son?
• What's the best way to educate boys?
• What are the effects of divorce on boys? What advice is available for single parents?
• What should we be doing to shape the next generation of men?

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.
