Description
If you are a new Dad or an experienced Dad, have you ever wondered, "Do I make a real difference in my child's life?" New research confirms that the answer is an unequivocal YES. The Dad Difference gives you the latest results in a quick read that is easy to understand. This little book includes five ways that you positively impact your child, your relationship with your child and your world at the same time. If you are a wife or a partner, The Dad Difference lets you in on the secrets of your husband or partner's influence. When Dads know how important they are, life can only get better for everyone in the family. By focusing on Dad's importance, this book does not diminish Mom's impacts or advocate any particular form that a family should take. Wherever you get your parental inspiration: from your own father, from a great friend, teacher, mentor or from your faith, The Dad Difference supports you with information that has just become available. With information from The Dad Difference, you will be able to counter and overcome the ridiculous stereotypes of fathers in the mass media. When this news becomes mainstream, you can celebrate with a full community of other fathers. So Dad Up Your adventure is just beginning and now there is a roadmap. This book is a start. Try these five things with your kid and let's see how it can change our world.
