Rewriting Fathers is an easy to remember way to “know how” to be a father. A simple, Christ-like approach to discovering “what a father is and what a father does”. Using the word “fathers” as an acronym we lay out what a father is and what a father does. The F.A.T. teaches what a father is and the H.E.R.S. teaches what a father does. Second, we include a legacy journal for fathers. The journal provides writing prompts to get dads started.

Integrity and character in a father is an essential start, but unfortunately, many dads think that is enough and miss those teachable moments to transfer their own wisdom and experience on to their kids.

Un pregiudizio è un errore che si ripete all'infinito, e i ragazzi ne sono le vittime preferite. La psicologia, spesso inconsapevolmente, si è resa complice di questa deriva, contribuendo al loro inscatolamento all'interno di categorie remote, create quando si andava ancora con la carrozza a cavalli e la speranza di vita non superava i cinquant'anni. Basterebbero queste affermazioni per renderci prudenti sulla pretesa di risolvere tutto con un libro: il rischio di rimanere delusi è dietro l'angolo, perché troppi cancelli, pesanti, si sono chiusi nel frattempo intorno ai ragazzi.

And then his eldest son, Cole, was killed in a traffic accident on the way to football practice  

As the minds of young children develop, they begin to seek knowledge through the use of questioning. It may seem that when they reach a certain stage that this is all they do. Sometimes they begin to wonder what will happen in the future. Other times these questions are nothing more than a simple request, perhaps for some of our most precious commodity - our time.
