From Father to Daddy David A White

Fatherhood is about sacrifice, love, and more sacrifice. As fathers, we have to remember that we have the power to build and to destroy. The title "Daddy" is earned, and maintaining that title requires constant maintenance of parental relationships. Emotionally supporting our kids is the responsibility of both parents; however, this book primarily focuses on the unique role that a father plays in their children's lives. In chapters like "Love with Your Hands" and "Building to be Better" the author shares his personal experiences, observations, and learning lessons to help steer fathers down a productive and nurturing path of child rearing. Along the way, readers will begin to identify ideology in their parenting styles that may need updating or revamping. Each chapter will leave readers with new tools to implement on their journey. Portions of this book promote healing and courage to mend torn relationships as well. The author also applauds stepparents, and adopted parents who have stepped in and saved the day, emphasizing that fathers do not have to be biologically connected to excel in their role as a father. The challenge to acquire the Daddy title comes through sacrifice, love, and leadership. Accept the challenge!
