Men want to be better fathers, and today they're trying harder than
ever. They jog behind strollers, leave work early for
parent-teacher conferences, and roughhouse with their kids before
they've had a chance to change out of their suits.
But many men aren't building the relationships with their sons
that they'd hoped for. And sons are finding it hard to confide in
fathers who must devote so much of their time to building careers
that both keep them from their families and keep their families
comfortable. Many fathers admit that they don't have a clue what's
going on in their sons' lives, from ball game schedules to online
communities to fears and anxieties about school, friends, and
relationships. Fathers often walk around burdened with guilt,
worried they're just not able to do the right thing, even though
they're trying to be equal partners in parenting with their
wives.
"There When He Needs You" is the first book to tell the truth
about the challenges that fathers of sons face today -- including
the intergenerational legacies of self-doubt that they anxiously
carry from themselves having had distant, unavailable fathers. A
self-treatment program as well as a psychological X-ray of today's
father, "There When He Needs You" shows you how to create and
strengthen a real, meaningful bond with your son. Through real-life
stories of real-life dads who have lost and found their way, you as
a father will learn to reorder your priorities, express yourself
more openly, connect with your loved ones, and become the role
model that your son needs.
Wives will learn how to gently help their husbands do this -- no
nagging, threatening, or criticizing -- while becoming their
husband's best friend, cheerleader, and coach. Turning the
father-son dynamic inside out, "There When He Needs You" helps
fathers, sons, and mothers to understand their roles in the family
and create relationships that fuel closeness and trust.
"There When He Needs You" will open your eyes, tickle your funny
bone, and touch your heart. Ultimately, you'll understand what it
really means to be a father to your son and discover new ways to be
there for him.
