More About This Book

Overview

?God, please help me?another game of Candy Land??

Quite a few dads spend time with their kids. However, many have no clue what their kids really need.

Enter author Jay Payleitner, veteran dad of five, who?s also struggled with how to build up his children?s lives. His 52 Things Kids Need from a Dad combines straightforward features with step-up-to-the-mark challenges men will appreciate:

  • a full year?s worth of focused, doable ideas?one per week, if desired
  • uncomplicated ways to be an example, like ?kiss your wife in the kitchen?
  • tough, frank advice, like ?throw away your porn?

And, refreshingly?

  • NO exhaustive (and exhausting) lists of ?things you should do?
  • NO criticism of dads for being men and acting like men

Dads will feel respected and empowered, and gain confidence to initiate activities that build lifelong positives into their kids. Great gift or men?s group resource!

    Buy this book if you want to be a better dad

    This book is a must for dads who want to take their fathering to the next level. It's full of real-world advice anyone can take to heart and act upon. It's also fun to read with lots of stories. Formatted in short, easy-to-read chapters, you can pick it up at any time, learn something really useful, and set it down until you have a few more free minutes. I recommend this book.

    Excellent book!

    I am a mom, but I read this book because my husband thought it was something that we could both learn from. He loves this book and has allowed other men to read his copy. This book is a guide book for us. We've finished it and we both agree that we will have to read it again and again. Some "things" are so simple that we often times brush them a side or ignore them altogether. This book has opened our eyes to so much as parents. A great read indeed. :)
