Bringing Up Boys James C Dobson 9781414304502 Books

I'd recommend this, although some chapters are more useful than others. Helps me in raising my 13 and 10 yr. old sons. Also as a scoutmaster of 12-13 yr olds. Their wild, but will mellow out, just help them through it, don't try to fix everything at this stage. Didn't need the graphic depictions of sexual acts, etc. however. Also didn't need a whole chapter on how violent media makes kids violent, etc. Also, consider the author, you will get scriptures and some good southern gospel preaching sprinkled throughout, probably an average of a paragraph per chapter, but it's tastefully done. As a LDS Christian, it didn't bother me at all, just a heads up.

Bringing Up Boys James C Dobson 9781414304502 Books Reviews

I had very high hopes for this book, but I didn't find it helpful at all. Very disappointing.
Enjoyed this book. Very informative and enlightening. Dr Dobson doesn't mince words but that's refreshing. Not everything needs to be politically correct, truth goes a long way.
Get book on parenting boys.
James Dobson’s convictions die the death of a thousand qualifications in this book. He’s much easier to read when he’s talking about God and not quoting fluffy pop psychology. Unfortunately this book is mostly fluffy pop psychology.
Wish I’d known this book was so anti-progress before buying. Returning after 30 pages read as I don’t want a cent of my money going towards this guy and his discriminatory leanings, even $6 of my money.
I only got this because someone at work recommended it. This book completely turned me off within the first few pages. The author spent way too much time talking about why everyone else is wrong, supposedly in order to set the stage for why he is the only one who is right and everyone who disagrees is useless. There can be valuable concepts and ideas taken from multiple schools of thought.
Maybe it gets better and has some useful ideas but I couldn't tolerate it enough to get past the first few pages.
The book tells details of many studies and gives statistics on boys - crime rates, probability of drug use etc. but doesn't give much practical advice on how patents can better raise their sons in two parent, christian homes. The advice toward other homes is the more obvious of having a relationship with God, having more stability and focus on children etc. I was disappointed that more in depth advice was not given. We already spend time with our children and try to have meals with them for example. But I do agree with Dobson's point of view on most issues addressed, hence the high rating.
