The book, Father to Son, Life Lessons on Raising A Boy, is filled with small wisdoms for raising a son. The author, Harry H. Harrison, Jr. has been gathering material for this book since the first of his two teenage sons was born. For a father, having a boy comes with boundless love and enthusiasm, but no instructions. In Harrison's little book of wisdom for fathers, there are hundreds of succinct thoughts- practical and intangible, lighthearted and serious, all supported by a strong moral background- to guide, to remind, to teach, and to inspire. This small book is perfect for a small spot on a desk, to be reminded of the important job of being a father.
Some examples from the book are the following:
The five keys-
1. Be around.
2. Be his father, not his friend. If you don't understand the difference, imagine his confusion when you must discipline him.
3. Be a good husband. Show his mom respect at all times.
4. Be home for dinner.
5. Be a hero.
