Men tend to see themselves as providers, protectors, heroes, mentors, sportsmen and lovers. These healthy qualities of manhood undergird the practical advice Ian Grant relates.

A father is the first male in a child's life, and Ian Grant suggests that dads have a mandate and a responsibility, through the way they relate to their children, to give manhood a good name. He demonstrates consistently and lovingly how men can become the fathers their children need in the new millennium.

Written in short, sharp, easily-mastered strategies, Fathers Who Dare Win includes practical advice for:

• busy dads to connect with their children
• dads who don't live with their children
• having fun with your kids
• conducting a fantastic Father's Day
• discipline that makes sense
• being a hero to your kids
• dealing with food faddiness and undesirable behaviour
• running a family meeting
• becoming a parent-coach
• and much more...

"Busy fathers don't always have time or energy to be creative at home, but our children need a relationship with their dads, " says Ian Grant. "Here, in one easy-to-read book, are user-friendly game plans that dads can put into practice with immediate pay offs."

Ian Grant's strategies are positive, practical and fun, and derive from his many years of experience in helping parents change the atmosphere in their homes.
