About this listen
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 is a must-hear book for parents, teachers, social workers, youth leaders, and counselors—anyone involved in the challenge of turning boys into good men.

Love is important, but it is respect that is the key to your son's heart. The idea of moms respecting their sons may sound alien to some, but it seems to ignite curiosity across the board. It is easy to relate to the need for all of us to feel a mother's love, but is that the same thing as respect? Even for young boys, the effect of respect is nothing short of astounding when applied properly.

In Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction—for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested.

The 10 enlightening (and often humorous) lectures of Medieval Myths and Mysteries will show you how far from the “dark” times of legend these centuries were. Uncover the facts about the Knights Templar. Reveal the truth behind the tales of legendary creatures like the Questing Beast and the unicorn. Trace the events of the Black Death and the ways it altered the world in its wake, and much more. With Professor Armstrong, you will dig deep into the ways that later generations reshaped the narrative of the medieval years and perpetuated the myths.

Love is important, but it is respect that is the key to your son's heart. The idea of moms respecting their sons may sound alien to some, but it seems to ignite curiosity across the board. It is easy to relate to the need for all of us to feel a mother's love, but is that the same thing as respect? Even for young boys, the effect of respect is nothing short of astounding when applied properly.

As pediatrician and mother of two teenagers Cara Natterson explains, puberty starts in boys long before any visible signs appear, and that causes confusion about their changing temperaments for boys and parents alike. Often, they also grow quieter as they grow taller, which leads to less parent-child communication. But, as Natterson warns in Decoding Boys, we respect their increasing "need" for privacy, monosyllabic conversations, and alone time at their peril.

Perhaps there has never been a more challenging time to raise children than in today's culture. Parents are having to address challenges that their parents never had to with them. And while the core elements to raising children are the same, parents need wisdom for applying them to this day and age. That's what this book is about: navigating the times and raising a generation of men on godly principles - sons who are ready, able, and motivated to represent God during their days of sojourning on this earth.

Current child-rearing techniques seek to develop children who are confident, self-assured, and unafraid to speak their minds-lions instead of lambs. Although largely positive, this shift has brought with it some very serious problems in our children's behavior. Without going back to an authoritarian model, Joe Newman has developed new ways of helping children develop the ability to self-regulate without undermining their confidence, and individuality.

Be the example...
This book is a good reminder that old fashioned values are good. I agree with the author that society has lost many of these values. This book was written years ago, yet its true...the elementary school produces several reading books about strong girls, and I’ve yet to see one about strong boys that aren’t goofy.

Great Insight
I enjoyed this book...Christian parents have a challenging job for sure as the enemy wants desperately to get our boys off track. Many will think the book is “old school” but I would challenge that thinking as we’re to be in the world, but not of it and as the culture declines we must find ourselves further from it, not sliding down with it. We need a heart for people and the lost, but must raise our kids very differently than the unbeliever. What Dr. Dobson shares is challenging and very helpful!

excellent guidance for parents of boys
this is an excellent book to provide good Christian conservative guidance for parents of boys. I prefer dr. Dobson to do the narrating as he did in bringing up girls but this narrator did an excellent job and after Dobson did an excellent guidebook for parents. much of the content is highly controversial and flies in the face of modern culture but for our boys sake this is quite necessary. I highly recommend this book for parents of boys who are concerned about what this culture is doing to them.

Good Practices
Dr. Dobson has written this book so anyone can understand the ideas he has researched and practiced over the years. He focuses on principles based upon Christian values. Being involved in your boy's life, homeschooling, "tough love", and channeling their abundant energy. Much of his experience comes from his involvement in Focus on the Family. A Christian based organization focusing on marriage, parenting and families.
