Description
By Harry H. Harrison, Jr.
#8623 A boy comes with boundless energy, spirit, and love, all waiting to be shaped. And one of the powerful forces in the shaping is the wish to grow up to be “just like Dad.”
This guide to the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood is divided into sections covering the different stages of a boy’s life. It features one succinct lesson per page. For example:
- The importance of passing on skills – “Show him how to eat an Oreo.”
- Setting a good example – “Be home for dinner.”
- Staying involved – “Race him. You’ll never forget the day he beats you.”
- Being flexible – “If his favorite thing about organized sports is the uniform, let him wear it to school.”
- Nurturing responsibility – “Make him understand that even a small lie makes him a liar.”
- “Teach him the joy of finishing a job.”
- Instilling wonder – “Teach him the joys of staring at the moon.”
- “Encourage him to go barefoot.”
