I have been reading "Bringing Up Boys" by Dr. James Dobson. I think it's a great book for anyone raising boys or helping to raise boys...it explains alot. :-)

I'm glad you started talking about this. My doctor suggested that I read this at my son's last check up because he is starting to be so naughty. I will have to pick it up now that I've heard good (and real) reviews.

Thats a great book! Another good one is The New HIde and Seek by Dr. Dobson.. It talks about building self esteem, respecting themselves and how not to break their spirit. I would highly recomend this book also.

I think it's great to start when they are young because he talks about boys really needing their dad from age 15 months to 3 years. He talks about mom's role and dad's role. I would say read it no matter what age your son is.

I saw that book a while back. I love Dr. Dobson but wasn't sure what age range the book would be for. Is it relevant to babies or for more older boys?
