The heart of a father - Ken R. Canfield

Every father has a hidden longing to see his children surpass him. To help
him achieve this, Ken Canfield offers a three-part plan. First, a dad should examine
his own heart. Next, he should take steps to improve the way he connects with his
children.Lastly, he should take a longer range view and plan specifically
for a lifetime of involved fathering. Canfield's plan addresses a father's past--a
father should resolve his relationship with his own father in order to effectively
build a relationship with his children. Canfield also explains how to build the
four "walls" or dimensions, of fathering: involvement, awareness, consistency,
and nurturing. He then supplies a plan for the future. From being a new father to
being a grandfather, dads face challenges at each stage of their life. With the
long-range perspective this book provides, fathers can anticipate and prepare for
the changing situations they'll face. Based on years of careful research involving
thousands of fathers, this book is a solid reference tool for dads.
