Synopsis

This text explains the influence fathers have on children (male and female), and describes both the positive and negative qualities of fathers that affect children and their development into adults. The book delves into almost all the possible sequences that exist between fathers and their children, focusing on the type of father and father surrogates that can affect a child: distant fathers, the "great dads", father surrogates, deceased fathers and others. Chapters covers such topic as self-esteem, career choices, sexuality and values and beliefs, and practical advice to parents is provided on raising their own children to avoid repeating mistakes, as well as to imprint positive influence.
