The College Hills church is committed to helping parents in a variety of ways as they raise their children in the world today. Classes focused on specific areas of parenting are one way that we support, encourage and assist each other in becoming better parents. Focus on the Family has many excellent resources which the family at College Hills frequently utilizes, including the video series "Bringing Up Boys" based on Dr. James Dobson's best selling book by the same name.
With so much confusion about the role of men in our society, it’s no wonder so many parents and teachers are at a loss about how to bring up boys. Our culture has vilified masculinity and, as a result, boys are suffering.
Parents, teachers, and others involved in shaping the character of boys have many questions:
-
Are boys fundamentally different from girls?
-
What role does competition play in a boy’s development?
-
What is a father’s unique contribution to parenting a son? What about a mom’s role?
-
How can grandparents contribute to raising a healthy grandson?
-
What’s the best way to educate boys?
-
What advice is available for single parents of sons?
-
What causes homosexuality? Can it be prevented?
-
What should we be doing to shape the next generation of men?
In Bringing Up Boys, Dr.James Dobson tackles these questions and offers advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of Biblical principles. Boys are different! But with pressure to be "gender neutral," many try to mold children into a one-size-fits-all model. Dr. Dobson explains why boys are the way they are, how to understand their emotional and physical development, and how best to motivate them into becoming godly men.
