The New Dare to Discipline

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.

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 19, 2007 Type: User Review The New Dare to Discpline

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 23, 2007 Type: User Review Power trip

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 15, 2007 Type: User Review I doubt his ability to raise a dog, much less children

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 15, 2007 Type: User Review I'd rate it zero stars if possible

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 02, 2007 Type: User Review Don't be a "friend"-be a "parent"

We used the principles in Dr. Dobson's book to help us with raising our two daughters who are now adults. The result? Both daughters have told us that we were "perfect parents". No, our daughters were not Stepford Children. They are well...

I have read over 30 of these so-called reviews and have not found one that offers an alternative. Please comment my comment if you disagree with me. I have read many people who say there has to be a kinder-gentler way. Also, creative parenting...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 22, 2007 Type: User Review Abusive

If you love your children, stay away from this deeply unChristian book. This is a book that recommends child abuse and goes against everything research tells us about how to raise a healthy, happy and well-behaved child. Don't take my word for it...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 07, 2007 Type: User Review excellent advise

I usually do not write review for any books but after having read many of the reviews, i felt that many of the readers have misunderstood what the author wrote in the book. He does not advocate 'child abuse'. His book is not all about using...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 07, 2007 Type: User Review How to Bully a Child and Make Him a Bully

I won't write much here, only to say, yes, I've read this book several times, and would recommend another book, The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller, instead. It has become increasingly disturbing to me that Dobson has become so powerful...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 05, 2007 Type: User Review Perpetuates a Sad Cycle of Abuse

As a mother, I am quite disgusted by the advice of this author and the tone of disrespect for the feelings of children with which it is conveyed. The attitude seems to be one of tongue-in-cheek disregard for children. This method of...
