Good for families.......2007-02-22

This is a really good book for couples who are raising children. I would wait to get it until your children are about three years old, though. Many of the questions in the book deal with discipline and other concerns that young children aren't really going through. This is a good daily devotional for couples who are raising children. It makes you think about things together and learn to be better parents.

Nightlights for Parents.......2005-09-10

A great encouragement and help for parents that doesn't take large amounts of time away from your precious kids.

Author of Survival Meditations for Parents of Teens.......2004-12-15

I just love how the Dobson's bring God's message into parenting.
If your kids are a little older you might want to check out my book on surviving parenting the teens years...with God's help of course!

This highlights our goal of parenting!.......2002-11-07

Wow, this book is SO good. It puts many of my thoughts on paper. Dr. Dobson gently reminds us of our goal as parents. He teaches us how to teach them, how to pray with and for our children. We're reminded that these are God's children and the goal is to guide them to love and serve him. I can't wait for the day when my God says 'Good job my faithful servant'! I'm buying this for all my friends and family.

Book Description

Children need love, trust, affection--and discipline. From one generation to the next, the challenge of helping children into responsible adults doesn't change. Dr. Dobson's classic Dare to Discipline, a practical, reassuring guide for caring parents, has sold over 2 million copies since its release in 1970. What gives a book that kind of staying power? The ability to meet a real, felt need in the marketplace. Today, a whole new generation of parents is turning to Dr. Dobson's wise counsel. Some things never change.

Tyndale House Publishers and Dr. Dobson are proud to present The New Dare to Discipline, completely updated to meet family needs in the 90's.

Wish I didn't even have to give it one star........2007-10-12

If you buy into his demented logic, then by all means this is the book for you.

However I would recommend any parenting book over this garbage. Try something from the Dr. Sears selection.

The New Dare to Discpline.......2007-09-19

This book tells it well, that if you love your children, I mean really love your children, you will discipline them. By disciplining them, it takes more than making them feel good, it teaches them to take control of their wills, to shape their lives, to understand what is true and good. Sometimes that takes a spanking when they are too defiant. Anyone who has raised children, knows this to be true. Do well for your child by discipliing your child.

Power trip.......2007-08-23

If you are on a power trip over your children, this is the book for you. Adults who would use this book as a guide for child rearing are creating the next generation of child abusers. There are dozens of great books on the market for all aspects of child rearing. Don't let this charlatan who thinks he has a direct line to God, tell you anything. He understands children about like Attila the Hun understood human nature.

I doubt his ability to raise a dog, much less children.......2007-08-15

The episode describing a small dog and a grown man having a tantrum (the author)makes me wonder about whether Dobsdon should be allowed to raise dogs, much less children. When a small dog refuses to go into his kennel, it is a simple matter to pick it up and place it in the kennel. Yet this man who beat a dog for several minutes and is seemingly proud of it, dispenses advice on child rearing.

I also find it interesting that he calls himself a Christian, but doesn't mention Jesus in this book.

I'd rate it zero stars if possible.......2007-08-15

Dobson, himself an acknowledged victim of child abuse, perpetuates the problem by dressing it up in religion. Without qualifications in pediatrics, child psychology, social work or even theology, he twists and tortures the Bible to justify what can only be described as a severe psychological illness of his own.

The techniques he advocates - prolonged spanking, and even shaking - are dangerous, and are documented causes of both severe injury and death.

Please, please, do not buy this book, and do not recommend it to your friends. It destroys children.

practical and effective.......2005-11-27

I read the book with each child we had [ 4 times]. I found it practical and common sense. There are a lot of folks who buy into worldly philosophy and ignore the Creators values and means. In no way does the book advocate violence. Our children are now adults and are requesting copies now that the grandkids have come along.

Evil.......2005-03-11

I continue to marvel at "men" like James Dobson who blatantly ignores all the solid statistical evidence that children brought up with love and without violence function better in life.
Dobson is also an anti-porn crusader, and he also ignores the fact that anywhere porn has been legalized, rape statistics have dropped dramatically. (Source: the book 'Porn 101')

Thank you, Mr. Delusion........2005-02-02

My father used Dobson's methodology as a license to strike. If you wish to die alone in a nursing home, I suggest you listen to those who worship hate and violence. There is not a day that I don't dream of lashing my old man with a studded belt to punish him in return, and am contemplating not having children to let the cycle of violence end with me.

God bless America, we really need it....

Concerned Parent.......2003-08-15

Book should be entitled "Dare to Hit Your Child with Whatever is Handy". Dobsen extolls virtues of his wife snapping their not yet two-year-old with a switch across the shins, can you imagine? He also attests that he received great benefit, as a child, by being spontaneously walloped by his mom's girdle, complete with buckles and straps.

The fact is, that spontaneous anger from a parent can be beneficial to a child, in seeing that his actions may set off undesired reactions. Yet, spontaneous violence sends an absolutely wrong message of physical superiority making "right" in a confrontational situation.

My children turned out quite well, I think with equal parts luck, love, and parental boundries. I didn't get anything from this book (I read it years ago) that I utilized in child-rearing, except a dedication to never hit my children.

I have been converted to the ways of Dr Dobson.......2000-08-01

I borrowed this book from a co-worker who used Dr Dobson's methods to raise her 2 ,now grown, children. I would recommend this to anyone with questions or concerns on any kind on displine. It changed many of the beliefs I had previously held on displine. Dr Dobson teaches how to incorporate displine and love and that the two go together.

Worst book I have ever read........2003-06-09

This book is just a manual on how to make your kid misirable by spanking him and pain. The father is bigger, then he has to use his force to correct the kid. I think parents are smarter too, so they can use the intelligence to make their childs change.

I love it!.......2001-11-29

The teaching is excellent. Every parent should read the book... and apply it.

This man is an idiot, dont waste your money........2007-09-11

Anyone who beats a 12 pound dog with a belt has some serious issues. This man needs help and needs to quit writing books. Abusing ones children and animals is not the loving way to raise a family. Religious idiots will love the book though and can condemn and hate and beat their children and dogs with the love of god in their hearts. Dobson makes me puke.

Dyspeptic Dachsund.......2007-03-30

To all those who complain about Mr. Dobson's beating of his dog: I think that you should try it before you criticize it. It provides an enormous cathartic relief. In fact, before every election I make a point of smacking my little dog around, and then I vote straight Republican.

Dobson is an evil man.......2006-06-17

Evil evil man.

Don't listen to him. He wants you to hurt your children.

Love them instead.

a response to Erica in FL (2 comments below mine).......2006-04-19

While I know that this author is not always right.... I think it is absolutely ridiculous that you would blame every single one of your problems on the author and your mother. You sound very much like you are looking for people to blame, rather than a way out of your issues. My parents spanked me all the way through my childhood, yet I'm doing great now. I'm emotionally stable, healthy, living fear-free, and I'm prospering financially. The same goes for my wife, who was also spanked as a child.
You mention that you have no relationship with God... Is that what you're going to tell Him when you're standing before Him someday? That you lived your whole life on this earth and didn't have a relationship with Him because you were spanked as a child? Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at you and neither is God... but it's time that you take some responsibility for where you are right now. You can't spend the rest of your life blaming others for where you are spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I've known of people who were molested, beaten, raped, abandoned, verbally abused, etc when they were children.. yet they now take total responsibility for where they are in life. They have an awesome relationship with God and with others, and they are now teaching thousands of other people how to live a victorious life.
Being spanked as a child is no reason to not love and respect your mother. That's crazy. Being spanked as a child also does not justify all of the conditions and issues that you have mentioned.
You are only a decision away from a completely different life. Yes, you must change your thinking. Yes, you must associate with different people. Yes, you must do a lot of other things to change your situation... but it all starts with a decision. And that decision is yours and no one else's. Everything that you'll ever need has already been provided through the finished work of Jesus Christ.

We have to do better than this for our children. Controlling and turning your kid into the perfect little, well behaved lemming is going to haunt you until you die. This type of abuse never has a good, long term effect on anyone. Put the paddles and belts down and talk to your kids. They deserve at least that much.

Book Description

Honor Dadâ¦He Deserves It!

Make today Father’s Day! Whether given on a special day or just âbecause,â A Father, A Hero will show your dad how much he means to you and your family. In four sections of storiesâeach honoring him as a protector, a provider, a leader, and a spiritual role modelâthis beautiful book with reminiscent images by G. Harvey is all it takes to show Dad his incomparable value. The uplifting, true tales and moving pictures combine to serve as a reminder that strong family ties are a blessing from the Lord.

In a World in Need of Male Role Models,

Honor the Heroes Who Are

Confidently, humbly, faithfully. A father often serves behind the scenes. But younger generations are watching, and his example sets the course for a bright future. His role is irreplaceable, his leadership commendable. He’s a commonplace hero deserving nothing short of noble recognition.

[Front Flap]

Dr. James Dobson and his good friend, acclaimed artist G. Harvey, invite you to experience the rich blessing of fathers and families through the inspirational stories and images that make up A Father, A Hero. The artist’s unique touch and striking images usher in an air of gratitude as you ponder the gift of male role models everywhere. The stories, a collection of Dr. Dobson’s favorites, will inspire you as they invoke your own special memories.

Honor your father. Cherish your family. And shower accolades upon the one who has led boldly, served faithfully, and loved sincerely.

Story Behind the Book

We live in an age of fallen heroes. Corporate scandals, priests who sexually abuse children, television turning minds against family values. And yet against this disheartening backdrop, millions of today’s dads are quietly going about the business of fatherhood. Almost unnoticed, these men show the next generation that it is still possible to model masculine leadership in our wayward culture. They are the real heroes of the twenty-first century, and they deserve our encouragement more than ever before.
