To
jump start your journey down the Great Dad pathway, here's a fact
to chew on: If you spend one hour per week in one-on-one time with
your child, the total amount of time you will have with that child
by the time he or she leaves home at age 18 is 39 days -- 39 days,
Dad!
My desire is to be your personal fathering coach for these precious
few "days". You only have to choose to be part of the Great Dads team
for me to have the privilege of coaching you. Though we are one of
the most exciting, dynamic teams in America, there are no tryouts.
All that's needed is a desire on your part to be a Great Dad to your
kids and a commitment to spend some time at it by learning the 6 Basics
of Being a Great Dad and then putting them into play.
Like any good coach, I will always talk straight with you. We'll go
over the dos and the don'ts; we'll go through the good times and the
hard times together. A father's road can be a very blessed one, but
it is not an easy one.
Thus, some things that I'll be saying will probably make you a feel
a bit guilty, certainly challenge you, maybe even upset you. BUT what
I share will also give you hope, inspire you, make you laugh, encourage
you and most of all give you loads of practical suggestions about
how to be a Great Dad.
Let's not waste a minute of your precious 39 days as a father. I invite
you to join me each week for the new Great Dad "Tip of the Week."
And join me each month in my column "Straight Talk for Dads"
where I share with you my new thoughts on your journey as a Great
Dad. This website will truly offer you all you need to know to be
a Great Dad to your children -- whether they're 40 days old or 40
years old or somewhere in between. See this as your one stop shop
for your own fathering journey.
But most importantly, put what you learn here into practice and experience
the JOY of being a Great Dad as you give your kids the gift they most
desire: their dad's heart turned toward them.
In Christ's Love,
Dr.
Bob
Your Fathering Coach
