Get the confidence you need to be a true and loving father
Today, countless men are committing to becoming the kind of fathers they always wanted--but most likely never had. Now, clinical psychologist Stephan B. Poulter draws from more than 20 years specializing in father-son relationship counseling to offer a blueprint for good fathering that will help you confront--and conquer--your fears, including the fear of repeating the past. This visionary book guides you to:
- Practice inner fathering, a 7-step technique to heal the Lost Boy inside--and extend this healing to your son
- Deal with the flash flood years--teen anger, hostility, and fear
- Parent through divorce and be a good stepfather
- Recognize your critical role in your son's emotional, psychological, and spiritual development--a role only you can fill
Also included are real-life case studies and stories, as well as self-assessment quizzes and checklists. Whatever your son's age or your fathering status, this guide will help you meet the unique challenges of each stage of your boy's development.
