Looks like another good book to check out: Embracing Your Father

It is such a challenge to beat down my book stack. I'm currently working on two books. I finished off another one last week, while flying out and flying back.

Glen Sacks posted about Dr. Linda Nielsen: Usually It's the Father Who Does the Most to Make Kids Self-Reliant, Self-Disciplined, Self-Motivated:

"Although most teenagers talk more to their mother than to their father about their social lives, they usually turn to their father to solve other problems, to get advice on education and jobs, and to get encouragement for self-reliance."-- Dr. Linda Nielsen, President of the American Coalition for Fathers & Children
ACFC President Dr. Linda Nielsen, author of the book Embracing Your Father, wrote an academic paper for the Journal of Divorce & Remarriage several years ago called Disenfranchising, Demeaning, and Demoralizing Divorced Dads : A Review of the literature. One of the paper's best sections is called "The Benefits of Fathers versus Mothers." It is excerpted below.

Amazon has eleven reviews of Embracing Your Father, all eleven reviews rated it a five. It looks like another book to check out. I've started by asking to borrow a copy through Link, an inter-library loan system in California.
