Publisher's Summary

You can't earn a degree, take postgraduate courses, be certified, or become a master tradesman, but being a dad is the most important job you will ever have. The multitude of suggestions and "should dos" being shouted at you from all corners can be overwhelming. You cannot do them all, but how do you choose which techniques and skills are the most important for raising happy, healthy children? Solid scientific research and the wisdom of excellent experienced fathers clearly show the way. This audiobook won't overwhelm you with the clamoring of a hundred voices. It will give you the seven things, the important things, you need to know and do to be an effective father.

It’s good but not really for me

This book is good and I’ve picked up a good number of things to work on as a father. It’s unfortunate that it’s quite religious based. A bit over the top with religious references. Just not my thing, but otherwise it is good.

Im a mom

My husband listened to this many times. Since he passed away and we have 3 kids, I wanted to know what he learned. I loved it all and recommend it to all parents, but especially dads.
