Ep. 268 – Dare to Discipline: Dr. Dobson's Autism Boo Box

from Growing Up Christian · host Casey Greseth

This week we’re taking a look at a fascinating book written by the late great Dr. James Dobson: “The New Dare to Discipline.” This quintessential parenting guide was originally written by the good doctor while his own children were still in preschool, which the haters will say invalidates its timeless Biblical themes and enhanced interrogation techniques. However, the “New” Dare to Discipline is an updated version that is kid-tested, Dobson approved (in much the same way that hair loss medications and carcinogenic cosmetics used to be tested on golden retrievers). We’re going to focus on a fantastic chapter called “The Miracle Tools Pt. 1,” where Dobby shares some thought-provoking research into the treatment of childhood autism. So sit back, ignore the sounds of screaming children (those aren’t added in post for dramatic effect… Sam is on family vacation), and enjoy the show!
