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.

This book on parenting spurs and encourages the parental unit to hold fast to tried and true values, founded in biblical principles, for stubborn children. It’s focus is more on the strong willed child, which makes reading Dr. Dobson’s “The New Strong Willed Child” a must; they complement each other very well. I would recommend this book to any parent that is seeking to raise their children to be successful, kind, loving and beneficial contributing members of society.

Still applicable - Especially in the age of chaos

I strongly recommend this book for any parent and to maybe read it over again when feeling discouraged as a parent.....we aren't perfect, this book however encourages you to keep working and points out how "normal" it is to feel defeated, but to never loose heart. The only negative is if you have read other Parenting Books by Dr. Dobson, such as, "The Strong Willed Child" & "Bringing Up Boys", it does repeat some of the same stories/examples. But they can always be reiterated!

Very Good Read

Great book by Dr. Dobson! The narrator was very good except for mispronouncing "Danae" (Da-nay).
