Description: Even if you fully agree that a father’s parenting style is uniquely beneficial to children; this book will show you how to put a man’s special skills and gifts into practice and become a significantly better parent.

Fatherstyle is a term O’Shea and Windell use to describe the five elements effective fathers use in raising confident and caring children. They are:

• Play activity
• Promoting independence
• Nurturing empathy and emotional intelligence
• Solving discipline problems while teaching children self-control
• Creating a culture of expectation in the home

This practical parenting resource provides new and valuable information based on research and the experience of successful parents. It gives suggestions on how the five elements can be incorporated into daily life, helping your child grow into a healthy, well-adjusted adult.
