Best Things Fathers Do: Ideas and Advice from Real World Dads [Paperback]

Will Glennon (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2008

Following up on his popular, The Collected Wisdom of Fathers, Will Glennon combines the wisdom and joy culled from interviews with fathers, research, and his own personal experience as a dad into Best Things Fathers Do, a helpful and inspiring book that is perfect for fathers, new and old. Fathering is a full-time job. The age-old notion that fathering extends only to the occasional pick-up game of catch or fishing trip is certainly a thing of the past. Fathers are more involved than ever with daily care, teaching, and rearing of their children. In Best Things Fathers Do, Glennon not only celebrates fatherhood, but gives dads the tools to build close, powerful emotional bonds with their children.
