Book Review of Bringing Up Boys

Bringing Up Boys
reviewed on + 350 more book reviews


Anyone who has sons should certainly read this. It has great insights and research for what boys are like and what they do. There was only one of the questions he answered at the end of a chapter that I completely disagreed with because he gave into human nature and how this issue is just something to accept, but I have known many many many men who have gone through it and have stated the issue is wrong and harmful on many levels. . . .thankfully I knew Dr. Dobson's ideals on the issue before reading it, so I wasn't surprised to read it. I learned a lot considering I have two young sons. Overall the book states that the father is the most important person in a boy's life and that he needs to spend time and have fun with him. I think that is something that my husband does a pretty good job at, so I am really thankful and hope that our boys will be able to be strong and confident and sure of their masculinity.
