How Well Do You Know Your Kids?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Raising a Father. All opinions are 100% mine.

How is your relationship with your father? Or with your children? Do you know anything about them, other than what you learn from twice yearly phone calls? Well, in this day and age, do you know more than what you learn through emails or facebook updates?

My husband works very hard to have a great relationship with our children. He is always including them in the things he does, from working on cars with Ryan and fishing with the girls. He didn't have a very good relationship with his father, and he wants better for our kids. I love that about him.

There is another father in this world who decided, years ago, that he didn't know his daughter, and he wanted to do something about it. He ended up quitting his highly stressful job that kept him away from his family, and started a home based business, all so that he could get to know his daughter better. He wrote about his experience in the book, Raising a Father. It highlight the stories that show how his daughter taught him how to be a better dad, and in the long run, a better man. Of course, quitting your job to spend time with your kids is a little extreme in my opinion, but I love the concept.

I know Junior hates to read, but I am hoping I can convince him to read this book. In fact, I think every father should read it, if for no other reason than to be inspired to spend more time with their own kids.
