Parenting Isn't for Cowards: The 'You Can Do It' Guide for Hassled Parents from America's Best-Loved Family A dvocate

see related"Bringing Up Boys"
Just finished reading James Dobson's Bringing Up Boys. It's a very sobering read about the challenges of raising boys in today's world. Here's a quote that encapsulates his main point:
"Their [parents] assignment during two brief decades will be to transform their boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring men who will be respectful of women, loyal and faithful in marriage, keepers of commitments, strong and decisive leaders, good workers, and men who are secure in their masculinity. And of course, the ultimate goal for people of faith is to give each child an understanding of Scripture and a lifelong passion for Jesus Christ. This is, I believe, the most important responsibility for those of us who have been entrusted with the care and nurturance of children" (p.7).
