Finally, some sensible advice and caring encouragement on raising boys-from the Nation's most trusted parenting authority, Dr. James Dobson.

With so much confusion about the role of men in our society, it's no wonder so many parents and teachers are at a loss about how to bring up boys. Our culture has vilified masculinity and, as a result, boys are suffering.

Parents, teachers, and others involved in shaping the character of boys have many questions:
· Are boys really fundamentally different from girls? If so, how?
· What role does competition play in a boy's development?
· What is a father's unique contribution to parenting a son? What about mom's role?
· How can grandparents contribute to raising a healthy grandson?
· What effect does today's harried lifestyle have on boys?
· What's the best way to educate boys?
· What special advice is available for single parents of sons?
· What are the effects of divorce on boys?
· What causes homosexuality? Can it be prevented?
· What should we be doing to shape the next generation of men?

In Bringing Up Boys, Dr. James Dobson, America's most trusted authority on family issues, tackle these questions and offers advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles.

Every child is a powerhouse of undeveloped, unlimited potential. Tucked beneath the teddy bear sheets down the hall may lie a president of the United States, a world-renowned neurosurgeon, or a missionary who will proclaim the name of Jesus in a distant nation. Perhaps your child is a straight-A student getting ready to go off to college, or a rebellious youngster hanging with the wrong crowd. Regardless of their age or stage, all kids have a wealth of possibility just waiting to be released!

With insight gleaned from his parents' experience as well as mistakes of his own, the author good-naturedly shares many Maxwell family mishaps to help you see your children as they could be, not only as they are. And he enables you to do all you possibly can to ensure that you are the #1 influence in their lives. Encourage your kids to discover their interests, pursue their goals, and dream big dreams.

"Is a willful little darling driving you to distraction? Are you wondering where you went wrong as a parent? You may have a strong-willed child….
They come into the world smoking a cigar and yelling about the temperature in the delivery room. As toddlers, their greatest delights include painting the carpet with Mom's makeup and trying to flush the family cat down the toilet. As older children and teenagers, they are irritable, defiant, and seemingly bent on challenging all forms of authority.
Challenging as they are to raise, strong-willed children can grow up to be men and women of strong characters - if lovingly guided with understanding and the right kind of discipline.

In The New Strong-Willed Child, Dr. James Dobson offers practical how-tos on raising one of these little powerhouses, drawing on up-to-date research and years of experience advising families.

Find out what America's most trusted authority on parenting has to say about:
· What makes strong-willed children the way they are
· Shaping the will while protecting the spirit
· Avoiding the most common parenting mistake
· Disciplining the strong-willed child
· Sibling rivalry
· Strong-willed adolescents
· Strong-willed children and ADHD

If you're frustrated and discouraged from dealing with a stubborn, out-of-control, or defiant youngster, take heart. Help is available from Dr. Dobson and The New Strong-Willed Child.
