Publisher's Synopsis
Maternal and child health programs and professionals have become increasingly more cognizant of how fathers, specifically, affect their children's health and development.
A realistic take by a journalist on modern child-rearing (or the lack thereof) that is producing smother-loved, father-lost kids, who, like orphans, wander through public schools. The only value taught is no bullying, but sullen kids bully their teachers into early retirement. What's the answer to this huge social dilemma? Single moms can do heroic things raising kids by themselves and delightful jewels emerge. But don't all children deserve a daddy? We need men to step up and be faithful husbands and effective fathers. With side-splitting hilarious tales, this book by a successful man (a husband, father, grandfather, columnist, pastor, and teacher) explains how men gain insight to be brave and become good dads. It reveals practical wisdom and workable strategies for men finding their purpose by raising happy kids in a well-ordered family despite living in troubled times.
