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.

We live in a culture that seeks to destroy the embryonic faith of our children and usher them into politically correct ideology, godless systems of belief, and gross immorality that would have shocked previous generations. This is what confronts today's Christian parents and many of them are terrified of it. We live in truly perilous times. But the good news is there is a way you can be victorious in this battle for the hearts, minds, and souls of your precious children.

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.

Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blowups you're facing are often a result of a bigger set of "triggers". Some of these are external, like a child's disobedience, back talk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood.

Outdated Terms/Assumptions- I'm disappointed
First, I'm a follower of Christ and seek His will for my life and my children.
I found that the book was dated and, at times, offensive in Dr. Dobson's terminology, for example the use of the word "retarded" to describe mental and learning disabilities. I am a Christian Educator and no one should use such an offensive term. I was shocked that a learned man would continue to use the word to grossly over simplify a wide range of disabilities. It was about this chapter that I stopped, prayed a blessing over Dr. Dobson and his ministry, and moved on.
I believe there are some good, practical truths but I personally couldn't get past some of the antiquated (not in a good way) generalizations and terms. I did not finish the book.

Great traditional approach / short read
I like and agree with how this author explains spankings for children.
Also, this author does a wonderful job of reminding us how important psychology and sociology are in the role of development.
I also like how the traditional role of males and females are addressed, and the importance of keeping these roles defined.

Disappointed
Was really disappointed with his explanation of homosexuality, the explanation discredits the rest of the book. Not sure if the rest of the book is science based or religious based. I'm a Catholic person but still understand there are some things that need to be explained correctly.

to many narrated stories not enough practicality
I am stopping in chapter 3. I keep waiting To get To the better part but I am tired of the all over the place content, I understand the referances but if you are a straightforward person this book is not for you. To many narrated stories not enough practicality. Lots of expressed opinionated observations as if to pursuae rather that to provide informative information on how to actually foster confidence in a child. Book is more on critisim of the affect on society and how children's worth or effected by it. I'm bored and uninformed on my intended purpose of purchasing this book. It can serv as a good sociology purpose but not for the title it says.

Looks elsewhere for positve parenting advice
While I do agree with the general view of today's society being overfocused on looks (girls) and athletic ability (boys), I lost my patience with this book when Dobson prescribed spanking and cuddling afterwards. THERE IS NEVER ANY REASON TO STRIKE A CHILD OF ANY AGE. EVER. The only lesson violence teaches a child under 8 is that its OK to hit people you love.
Try the Strength Switch by Lea Waters. Focusing on your childs strengths is an organic way to build confidence.

This book is dated and offensive. The author is quick to judge others and talk himself up. This book should come with a warning that it is for a Christian audience. I found his patriarchal and religious opinions offensive. He says "The root cause of all suffering is sin" What a perverted thing to say! I want a refund!
