If you let a child know that you think he is lazy, sloppy, untruthful, unpleasant, and thoughtless, he'll probably prove you are right. Obviously, it is much better to make him stretch to reach a positive image than stoop to match one at ground level.

James Dobson
Image
It is my view that our society can be no more stable than the foundation of individual family units upon which it rests. Our government, our institutions, our schools...indeed, our way of life are dependent on healthy marriages and loyalty to the vulnerable little children around our feet.
James Dobson

I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
James Dobson

Marriage succeeds only as lifetime commitment with no escape clauses.
James Dobson

Behavior runs in deep channels that were cut during early childhood, and it is very difficult to alter them. In order to change a deeply ingrained pattern, you have to build a sturdy dam, dig another canal and reroute the river in the new direction. That effort is rarely successful over the long haul.

The right to criticize must be earned, even if the advice is constructive in nature.
James Dobson
Image
If homes are going to survive, it will be because husbands and fathers again place their families at the highest level on their system of priorities.
James Dobson

By learning to yield to the loving authority of his parents, a child learns to submit to other forms of authority which will confront him later in his life — his teachers, school principal, police, neighbors and employers.
