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 many questions. In Bringing Up Boys, Dr. James Dobson, America's most trusted authority on family issues, tackles these questions and offers advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles. Bringing Up Boys--a must-read book for parents, teachers, social workers, youth leaders, counselors--anyone involved in the challenge of turning boys into good men. The audio book is read by Wayne Shepard and punctuated by original music. |

 Written on March 18, 2008 Summary: Book was misnamed It should have been called "Bringing Up Homophobes". I am a Christian and received this from my Christiam MIL upon the birth of my first son. I have never been so disgusted by a book in my life and finally understood the desire to burn a book. I can't even give it away for free because I don't want anyone else to fill their minds with this tripe.  Written on March 16, 2008 Summary: Full of polemics and societal lament, almost bereft of practical advice Dr. Dobson has grossly mis-subtitled this volume: It should have been called, "Bringing Up Boys: What's wrong with contemporary American society and how it threatens the well-being of your sons." His book contains chapter after tiresome chapter of him warning and/or inveighing against a parade of societal ills, cherry-picking sound bytes from popular news media up to thirty years old to make his points, and offering very little practical advice or encouragement for parents. An almost worthless read. Please note that I write this as a conservative, born-again Christian. Written on February 16, 2008 Summary: Ugh... Disgusting. How can this man claim to be a doctor? If you want biased information from a homophobic, feminist-hating quack, buy this book. As a single mother, I was looking for specific information on how to help my son with male only issues, and all I got was a lecture on the importance of the bible and a rant about how traditional family values ought to be followed - WHICH ARE DANGEROUS!!! Fast-forward to the future "Mr." Dobson, women are tired of domineering, repressing, men. Let's raise our boys with an appreciation of both genders, less violence, appreciation of different religions, and RESPECT FOR WOMEN! I cannot imagine how many people you have corrupted with this trash. If anyone out there wants some real information on family, buy a book that focuses on family - not one particular gender.  Written on February 9, 2008 Summary: Great read for anyone with boys I have recently become a fan of Dr. Dobson. This was a very eye opening look into a boy's world. Written on February 8, 2008 Summary: Don't Buy This Book I believe that this book can be summed up with a quote from page 122: "If a father wants his son to grow up straight, he has to break the mother-son connection that is proper to infancy but not in the boy's interest after the age of three. In this way, the father has to be a model, demonstrating that it is possible for his son to maintain a loving relationship with this woman, his mom, while maintaining his won independence. In this way, the father is a healthy buffer between mother and son." I found this book both insulting and apalling. As a single mother with a kind, bright son who loves baseball AND theatre, I have no intention of breaking off our relationship, or of jumping through hoops to make sure my son identifies with the male gender, as "Dr." Dobson would suggest. He is quite clear on his gender, even without a man around. A much more helpful approach is found in "Real Boys: Rescuing our sons from the Myths of Boyhood" by William Pollack, Ph.D. Pollacks book was written with much more common sense and love. |
