Book Overview
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. 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. He addresses common questions parents ask when guiding boys into manhood, such as: How are boys fundamentally different from girls?What are the father's and mother's unique roles in their son's life?How do you guide and discipline the next generation of boys to become godly men?How should you handle energetic and rambunctious behavior?Whether raising young children or teens, this is a must-read book for Christian parents, teachers, social workers, youth leaders, and counselors--anyone involved in the challenge of turning boys into good men.

Los varones del futuro
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
El libro es una gran herramienta para conocer, aprender, y educar a mi hijo varón. Me enseñó que como madre, NO estoy sola en el mundo y más aún, que mi hijo varón es normal, no es un extraterrestre!! El estilo único del Dr. Dobson hace entretenida la lectura y me gusta mucho como su base totalmente cristiana se adapta a la realidad de nuestros tiempos. El demuestra como sí se pueden criar varones con valores cristianos y a la misma vez vivir en nuestra sociedad actual. Mi propósito como madre es educar a mi hijo varón para que sea un hombre con valores y responsable consigo mismo, su familia actual y futura, y la sociedad. Este libro me provee una valiosa ayuda para poder alcanzar mi propósito.
Thank you, Dr. Dobson

I was wishy washy in my decision to buy this book based on reviews I saw here. It seems this book either gets 5 stars or 1 star!After reading it, I found much of what was written in the 1 star reviews to be misleading. Obviously, I liked it very much.I expected to read this book and like many parenting books, take away some good things and discard others. But instead, I found myself nodding in agreement with Dr. Dobson.His insights seem to be based in common sense to me. The only chapter I wasn't so sure about was the one on the origins of homosexuality. While I understand and appreciate his theories on the development of homosexuality, and even agree with him to a point on his views about whether or not one is born with homosexual tendencies, I'm not ready to totally endorse his views in this area.That being said, its about time that someone had the guts to point out that boys are different from girls (Duh!), and say that its OK. The book sparked great discussions between my husband and I. We're looking forward to raising our son and will no doubt consult Dr. Dobson's book frequently over the next several years.
