Often, on Father’s Day, we give our dad a Hallmark-type card. This Father’s Day you can give him a book that will help him understand his own contribution to your life, and help him feel the love a dad feels when he knows his child “gets” his best intent. And remember, you can give this to your husband, son, brother…
The value of Father and Child Reunion as a Father’s Day gift is that few dads are able to articulate their contributions. Father and Child Reunion explains to him why so much of what he just did intuitively was so crucial for your development. It doesn’t say it in syrup-y language. In easy-to-read prose, it documents it, so your dad has bottom-line info as to his value.
Perhaps more important, though, when you give your dad Father and Child Reunion, he knows that you also know why he was so crucial to your turning out so well. That’s what creates the father and child reunion.
One example. Did you know that the more a dad is involved, the more empathetic the child? That’s right, empathetic. Do you know why? Father and Child Reunion has hundreds of well-documented, counter-intuitive examples like that—concrete examples that will help your dad appreciate himself and feel more appreciated by you.
Below are some endorsements from some well-respected and famous professionals who have read Father and Child Reunion.
As with everything I do, if you aren’t more-than-satisfied I’ll return 100% of the money. I want you and your dad to be happy. (And remember, you can give this to your husband, son, brother…)
