This Christian based book is for anyone raising a BOY. It stresses the importance of raising boys to be men. It gives practical examples of how to start conversations of sexuality at a young age and keep talking through adulthood. It has many funny stories about how boys and girls think and act so differently.

This book is a WINNER! Yes, Purchase this book and keep it for YEARS!

This book was a life saver for me. I was having trouble with my 14 year old son and a co-worker loaned me this book. I started reading and instantly found answers I needed. I really wanted my own book so that I could highlight important points so I went straight to ebay and found a buy-now and received it in 3 days.

The book helped me to cope with certain typical situations, gave reassurance that it will pass and most importantly helped me realize most of what me and my son were going through is the normal process of being a boy and growing up.

I would recommend this book to everyone that has a son or grandson and would also recommend reading it before problems arise to save you unneeded stress and heartache!

I love this book! Dr. Dobson writes with a passion and true love for the family, and its wellbeing and nourishment. He shares biblical wisdom and truths without being judgemental. I highly recommend this book to parents with precious boys and hope you gain a greater insight into many issues as I have.

This is a great book that explains how God made men. I initially read it after my son was born, but found a lot of great information that helped me to understand my husband and the way he 'ticks'. It's a must-have

  Bringing Up Boys Insight
Review created: 07/05/06

I have a young son and was searching for advice from a spiritual perspective on how I could better handle his behaviors. I did not have a younger brother nor grow up on a daily basis with a boy in the house...so everything he does is somwhat foreign to me. This book has helped me as I feel that Dr. Dobson is a trusted family counselor and that he has the experience to back up what he says. There were a few areas that I didn't agree with totally, but it was nice to see a different perspective. It has been a useful tool to give me insight into a boy's world...and it has helped handle situations and to know what is "normal" behavior and what issues need to be immediately addressed. This book will help anyone with boys from toddlers to teens in better handling the day to day hustle. Again, since it is from a Christian perspective, it makes it all the more important to me.

I bought this book for two of my daughters when it first came out. It is super and essential tool for raising boys. I bought this copy for my third daughter after she had two boys. Dr. Dobson helped me immensely with his book Dare To Discipline as a young mother and I love everything he's written.

I bought this book for my sister for her baby shower. She has grown up with all girls, so I thought this could be helpful as she brings up a boy. Our mom always listened to James Dobson when she was raising us girls so I thought this would be a great read.

I really liked this book because any mother who grew up without brothers isn't used to what little boys are like. It makes the reader realize that their boys are not the only ones that are the way they are. I bought this book because of my three year old boy. I need all the help I can get, and this book made me realize what a boy needs to turn into a good man. I recommend that everyone reads it, even if you only have girls. It goes into what teenage and preteen boys think about in those awkward years. It would be especially good for fathers to read.

This is a great book if you have boy at home. Some of us started thinking boys and girls are all the "same", until we experience it ourselves. This books shows in detail how God created men and women so differently. In the same sense, boys need to be raised differently as girls even in the same environment. After reading this book, readers will understand more about why boys acting certain way we see. Readers will also learn to raise kids in a positive and loving way. God Bless!

James Dobson gives helpful insights into raising boys. As in his other books, he is straightforward and covers a variety of topics. He offers sound biblical teaching that may not be popular in our post-modern culture, but it is true and helpful. A must read for any parent.

You must be ready for revolutionary action. This is not a book you can read and then forget about, I think this book changed the way I think about raising boys for ever.

  Great Book so far. Not finished with it yet.
Review created: 08/02/09

In a society where women want power & independence, I think it is hard for men to be who God wants them to be. As a mom raised only by her mom, with no men really in her life growing up, it is hard for me to honor my own husband the way I should, let alone raise my son to be a strong Godly man who will one day be the spiritual leader in his home. I am looking forward to reading this book to glean some knowledge on this subject. Praise God for authors willing to put themselves out on a limb to make these topics available to us.

  Great book. All parents with boys should read.
Review created: 05/07/09

I checked it out from the library and because it is full of info on how boys are different from girls and what they are capable of and what kind of guidance they need in this society, I wanted to own the book so I could go back to it any time.
It is a great book and I think all parents who are raising boys should read this book.
