Publisher's Summary
Unfortunately, children don’t come with operating instructions, so raising even the most compliant kids can sometimes be disconcerting. Acknowledging that some youngsters are more challenging than others, Dr. James Dobson offers real help with establishing parent-child relationships, maintaining sanity, and banishing guilt. A Doctor of Philosophy in child development and the founder of the international organization Focus on the Family, Dr. Dobson has become one of America’s most respected family therapists. Drawing on a landmark study of 35,000 parents, as well as on his experience as both a professional and a parent, the author offers valuable advice on every aspect of parenting. This insightful best-seller offers parents the opportunity to find fulfillment in every stage of parenting, from bringing children into the world to letting them go. Narrator John McDonough’s reassuring voice inspires a healthy dose of parenting confidence.

"closed minded, dated, sexist, and abusive"
What disappointed you about Parenting Isn’t for Cowards?I could barely listen to this book. The sample given has a cute story that made me buy the book. The next five minutes after the sample the author basically lumps homosexuality in with hard drug use as deviant behavior. He also thinks you should hit your kids to teach them who is boss. If you want to raise your kids that way and you want cute stories to go with it here is the book for you.
What was most disappointing about James Dobson’s story?His closed mind
What does John McDonough bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?he is a good reader.
What character would you cut from Parenting Isn’t for Cowards?the author.
