Dobson's firm foundation

Review by Mary Helen Pope

My five-year-old is developing a problem with lying. What can I do?

What do you think it will do to us to continue watching extreme violence night after night?

What kind of discipline do you use with a teenager who is habitually miserable to live with?

These and many other questions outline the tough course of people trying to be good parents today. Depending on the ages and temperaments of your children, you may be trying to cope with a whiner or a late-bloomer, make decisions about schools and friends, determine the influence of television -- not to mention combating premarital sex, date rape, and AIDS. Wouldn't you like to have Dr. James Dobson handy every day? That's not possible, but you can find all his reliable help in the new Solid Answers.

This comprehensive reference guide for families has the same conversational and authoritative content that parents rely on in Dobson's "Focus on the Family" radio broadcasts. Many of the book's questions and answers originated from parents calling or writing in for help. Solid Answers is also on audio.

Dobson realizes that the marriage relationship is foundational to parenting. He addresses how to make marriage work, family stresses, money matters, and other issues. There's a special chapter for single parents and stepparents.

Some of the best material in the book is a list of quotations from his classics such as Dare to Discipline, Love for a Lifetime, and The Strong-Willed Child. When you read these, you realize the extent of Dobson's influence on American child-rearing practices for almost a generation.
