Official synopsis Publisher
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.
