Book on Raising Boys

Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph is fantastic

The Wonder of Boys is good by Michael Gurian. He also wrote a book called the Wonder of Girls.

I have started reading Bringing up Boys by Dr. Dobson, and it is great so far. I would definitely recommend it. there is another one out recently called The Dangerous Book for Boys, by Conn Iggulden, Hal Iggulden that I heard was good as well.

Dear M.:

confirmation to you raising up boys by dr.dobson from focus in family you can listen to them too on 560 am station you can learn alot from this godly man. Blessings. C.

Hi M.. I love the book Why Gender Matters by Leonard Sax. He talks about both boys and girls, but what he says about boys is eye-opening. He explains why boys and girls act differently and it's really fascinating. I've told lots of friends with boys to read it.

I'm always looking for more books to read about raising a son (I have a three-year-old boy), so if you have any recommendations for me, I'd love to hear about it.

M., try bringing up boys by dr. dobson. although i dont agree and follow all he says in general (but most) it is a very good book for mothers of 1st time boys. check it out at the bookstores or at focus on the family (i think i copied the link right for you-just cut and paste it).

or go to http://www.family.org/ and type in the search bar books on raising boys or something and it should bring the selections up.

hope this helps.

I have three boys 10, 9, and today 8. I really learned a lot from "Bringing Up Boys" by Dr. Dobson. It was a real eye-opener to see how feminine our world has become, and that boys were meant to be "snips and snails, and puppy dog tails".
I hope it helps you out.

One book I've really found helpful for me is the book "Bringing Up Boys" by Dr. James Dobson (published by Tyndale House Publishers). I'm the mom of two boys, a 15 year old and a 5 year old (also have a 6 year old daughter).

"Bringing up Boys" -by James Dobson
He has lots of good books on subjects like parenting. Enjoy!

My favorite parenting book is The Science of Parenting by Margot Sunderland. Parenting advise is based on the latest brain research.

"Raising A Son:
Parents and the Making of a Healthy Man"
by Don and Jeanne Elium

It should be available on Amazon.com

I've read "the No cry Discipline Solution" by Pantley which is for both genders. It helped me a lot with my son.
Right now I'm reading a christian book called, "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge. From what I have read so far it is giving me a better understanding of both my 3 yr old son and my husband.
There is a book I want to read next called, "Bringing up Boys" by Dobson.
Email me back if you get a chance to read any of these so we can discuss.

At some point, and it is never too early, you may want to check out Liberated Parents, Liberated Children by Faber and Mazlich.

Companion workbook How To Talk So Children Will Listen, How To Listen So Children Will Talk. (Same authors)

Parent book to that, they studied with this wonderful man is Between Parent and Child by Haim Ginot.

I've read tons of books, and these changed my life profoundly.

Hello,
RAISING CAIN is an excellent book on protecting the emotional health of boys.

Hi! Dr. James Dobson has a great book called "Bringing Up Boys." :)

The Wonder of Boys by Michael Gurian. Good book.

No idea if there are any books on raising boys...I have 4 kids, 3 being boys, ages 17, 12, and 8 mos. They are all different, have their own personalities, opinions, likes, dislikes, attitudes, and demeanor. I have pretty much just winged it with em, and they are doing fine. Be careful what you read, as you may somehow get caught up thinkin, my son does not like/do that, is there something wrong?

My advice...love your child with all you have, pray daily, give it to God and all will work out>

Good luck and God bless

There is a book called Wild at Heart- it is faith-based, but really good.

Dr. James Dobson - Bring up Boys

Yes, Bringing Up Boys by Dr. James Dobson is wonderful!

Try the Bringing up Boys by Dobson. There is also a book about raising a modern day knight, which I haven't read and don't know the exact title, but have heard about it. I have read Don't Make Me Count to Three by Ginger Plowman and Shepherding a Child's Heart by Ted Tripp. They are for both genders and are Christian in their underlying orientation. But, what makes them so good is the shift in focus from just "getting our kids to just behave" to "getting into their heart." So what if you get a technically obedient kid if in their heart they are despising correction, hating others, etc. These books have changed my parenting with my son. Give them a try.

Good luck.

Hi M.~
I would very highly recommend "Shepherding a Child's Heart" by Tedd Tripp. That would be my first choice. Another good book is "Bringing Up Boys" by Dr. James Dobson. Hope this helps.
