Focus on the Family Founder Hosts Video Series on Bringing Up Boys

Dr. James Dobson's bestselling book Bringing Up Boys is now a video seminar featuring practical advice and encouragement for shaping the next generation of men.
One of only four video series from Dr. Dobson, Bringing Up Boys includes 11 sessions recorded before a live audience consisting of parents, grandparents, teachers, and students addressing questions such as:

• What role does competition play in a boy's development?


• How is a father's contribution to the parenting process different from a mother's?


• What's the best way to educate boys?


• What causes homosexuality? Can it be prevented?


• What special advice is there for single mothers with sons?


• How should I show affection for my son?

Society's mixed message on the role of men creates confusion among boys today. Dobson shares the secrets to bucking this trend and celebrates the important roles men play in life. He offers personal stories from raising his own son and addresses many of the same issues discussed in his book of the same title.

"Research makes it clear that young males are in serious trouble today, which motivated my book and this new production- in fact, Bringing Up Boys may be the most important work I have ever completed," said Dr. James Dobson. "Boys are routinely exposed to pornography on the Internet, immoral images in the media, safe-sex nonsense at school, enticements to gamble and hundreds of other harmful influences."

Designed for Churches and small group study, the seminar includes 11 video sessions on 6 VHS Cassettes, a leader's guide, a participant's guide, and promotional materials (radio and print ads, a poster, and a Church bulletin insert). Churches may purchase the series by calling Focus on the Family at 800.932.9123.
