Today's parents face a great deal of challenges, and these frustrations have produced what Dr. James Dobson calls a "crisis of confidence" in today's parents. This fact was verified in his study of more than 35,000 parents. Parenting Isn't For Cowards is intended as a celebration of parenthood. The purpose is to encourage parents who are raising their children in a shock-wave world.

Mom bought me this book for Benjamin's 5th birthday.
This book was really discouraging to us, and unnecessarily so. Not recommended.
