No Perfect Fathers Here

Although it might only take a moment to become a father, it takes a lifetime of commitment to be a father. Our children are perfect gifts that make us want to never mess up or miss out on the one chance that life gives us to be a father. So, when our poor choices produce a negative result in our kids, a lot of dads begin to battle frustration, fatigue, fear and failure.

 

Make no mistake about it; mistakes will be made, writes Chris Spicer. Yet, we can acquire knowledge and skills in the finer art of fatherhood and learn to handle our mistakes in a redemptive rather than adversarial way – which is the point of this book.

 

Written for imperfect dads with real struggles and failures as well as successes – No Perfect Fathers Here is a roadmap on how to capably handle the role of a father in a positive manner. Celebrating ten characteristics of highly effective parenting Chris shares some personal insight into improving ourselves as dads that comes from his forty years of fatherhood. Perfect parents don’t exist, but you can break out of the cycle of unsuccessful, even disastrous parenting and have a favourable effect on your kinds that will last them a life time.
