Reviews
“Loved! Loved! Loved! your book. I chuckled, I cried and quite a few times mumbled to myself “right on”. Wish I had had your book when I was raising my children as a gentle reminder of what is important.”
Susan D.
” My wife and I both read your book last night and we both really enjoyed it! It was a really fun read and a nice conversation catalyst for our evening. I particularly liked the rule about putting dessert in smaller bowls and using smaller spoons – but probably more for myself than for my kids! We will most definitely recommend it to our friends and family.”

More About the Book
You can learn a lot from your children. I became a father for the first time at the age of 47 with the birth of my daughter, Kat. She and my son, Christian, have taught me much about myself, just as I have learned much about them. I have also learned that there is a lot that books on fatherhood cannot teach you. This fatherhood and early childhood parenting tips book fills in some of the gaps with observations, rules of thumb and untold truths that I wish I had known and now use regularly.
