Well, hello, everyone. I'm James Dobson, and you're listening to Family Talk, a listener-supported ministry.

In fact, thank you so much for being part of that support for James Dobson Family Institute.

Well, welcome to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh. You know, there's an old nursery rhyme that says little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice. But what about boys, remember? Well, in just a moment, we're going to explore the unique world of boys, how they think, how they feel, and what struggles they face as they grow up.

And trust me, it has very little to do with frogs and snails and puppy dog tails.

On today's edition of Family Talk, we're featuring a timeless presentation from Dr. James

For moms and dads listening, this broadcast will help you better understand and parent and love your sons.
