Dare to Discipline
Written by
Dr. James Dobson
Discipline and training our children. One might think from the name of the book, it's all about corporal punishment but it's far more than that and covers a range of values for raising our children to become God-honoring, authority-respecting, self-disciplined children whom we can delight in as parents!
That it spoke to me a lot about how I was raised and gave good tools for how to better parent my children. Dr James Dobson is also a Christian and is very front footed about children encountering Jesus for themselves. Also the question answer sections are really insightful to drive home the theory of the previous chapter.
Not that the content is outdated or the research invalid. I think a man who builds his career on strong Christian morals, facts and experience is going to go places but possibly some of the info is a bit outdated, e.g. at the time of publication, AIDS was a huge thing, which is not so heavily publicised now as modern science has helped people live with the disease that back then was killing people a lot more than today.
Parents and those who plan to be parents, definitely teachers and anyone who wants to look a little deeper into their own childhood to see what values they were raised with. I need to make adjustments in my own personal life after reading this!
Yes, without reservation!
You will be challenged but it's an easy read, with many personal stories and examples that help to understand the concepts in this amazing book.
