The Power Of Dad

He loves me. He loves me not. This is the confusion we have left with the next generation. When we read the newspaper or watch the news we are often shocked by the acts of today's youth.

As a father you are the most powerful man in your children's lives. You are your daughter's first romance and your son's first hero. What you do with this incredible privilege will shape your children's beliefs about themselves and the world and largely determine the trajectory of their lives. It's never too late to step up to the plate and be the father your children need. DAD offers profound insight into manhood and fatherhood. It provides practical wisdom on how to be a great father and live with authentic masculinity. Filled with cutting edge relevance and rich, real life experiences, DAD will move you, entertain you and equip you with invaluable tools to father your children.

A thoughtful and "utterly mind-blowing" exploration of fatherhood and masculinity in the 21st century (New York Times). There are hundreds of books on parenting, and with good reason—becoming a parent is scary, difficult, and life-changing. But when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother. Drawing on research in sociology, economics, philosophy, gender studies, and the author's own experiences, Father Figure sets out to fill that gap. It's an exploration of the psychology of fatherhood from an archetypal perspective as well as a cultural history that challenges familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles. What paradoxes and contradictions are inherent in our common understanding of dads? Might it be time to rethink some aspects of fatherhood? Gender norms are changing, and old economic models are facing disruption. As a result, parenthood and family life are undergoing an existential transformation. And yet, the narratives and images of dads available to us are wholly inadequate for this transition. Victorian and Industrial Age tropes about fathers not only dominate the media, but also contour most people's lived experience. Father Figure offers a badly needed update to our collective understanding of fatherhood—and masculinity in general. It teaches dads how to embrace the joys of fathering while guiding them toward an image of manliness for the modern world.

Children grow up to be a lot more emotionally secured when they have had an involved father figure. They are more confident; they have better and fulfilling social connections and are much comfortable in their skins to explore their surroundings. Another impactful part of the father-child relationship is the way in which fathers play with their kids. It is what shapes both the social and emotional development of children. Books on parenting always seem to dub the fathers as not being that necessary for the upbringing of the child. Fathers are often depicted in the media as being emotionally disconnected, incompetent and always come as analternative to the actual parent (mothers). It makes it difficult for fathers to step up and be more involved in the lives of their little ones.

Self-initiation is killing our young men. Without strong mentors, boys are walking alone into a wilderness of conflicting messages about who they should be as men. It's no wonder that our sons are confused about what the world expects from them and what they should expect of themselves. The Intentional Father is the antidote. This concise book is filled with practical steps to help men raise sons of consequence--young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day. Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant "marking moments" that can be customized to fit any family. It's not enough to hope our sons will become good men. We need them to be good at being men. This book shows how fathers, grandfathers, and other male mentors can lead the way.

What fathers say can determine a child's way. Men who have abdicated their roles as fathers are the single greatest problem in society today. But fathers who speak words of encouragement and love to their children, mixed in with some common sense, sow into their hearts and minds the necessary ingredients for reaping healthy identities and self-images that propel toward success in life. Join Joe Pellegrino and Joe Battaglia as they share moving stories and life lessons from men and women who testify to the power of a father's influence, including: Corbin Bernsen Steve Brown Delilah Kathie Lee Gifford Lauren Green Michael Guillen Kirsten Haglund Brant Hansen Alex Kendrick Lauren McAfee Barry Meguiar Eric Metaxas Bill Parcells Shari Rigby Kevin Sorbo Michele Watson Martha Williamson You will learn: The qualities of being a good dad. What happens to a society that lacks fathers or strong male leadership. The importance of forgiveness toward others, especially the absent or abusive father. Powerful and practical truths that help men answer the question, How do I become that dad? Fathers Say beautifully demonstrates the power of a father's words, and the difference they make not only in families, but in society, as well.
