Synopsis "Raising Cougars and Bears (Parenting Daughters - A Father's Perspective): Shaping and Sharpening Skills for Your Daughter's Survival and Success (in English)"
Raising Cougars and Bears (Parenting Daughters - A Father's Perspective) is a personal and practical account about raising daughters in modern day society. I have spent my entire life cultivating the seeds for fatherhood. I am blessed to have 27 years of experience as a full time and devoted father. This book reinforces the importance of a supporting family environment and how education (formal and informal) ultimately impacts our children. Since I am the father of girls, my parenting skills and perspective are naturally focused on girls. By no means do I mean to diminish the importance of rearing boys, I would whole-heartedly agree that rearing boys is just as demanding and challenging. As a result, the parenting challenges and practical solutions discussed in this publication are not limited to fathers and daughters but also includes sons, step-children, foster and adopted children. My perspective of fatherhood is based on three principles: biblical concepts; the guiding values, principles, and morals that were instilled in me, and my application of life experiences in which I encountered the realities of fatherhood. In this book, I want to share my experiences as a father. My goal is to help young men who maybe contemplating becoming a father one day and to help young men who have already entered into fatherhood. Likewise, I want to also help young woman gain greater insight into understanding and helping the fathers of their future and current children to become the best role models they can be. As parents, more specifically fathers, we must equip ourselves to meet the challenges associated with fatherhood in today's society. We must do so for the betterment and benefit of our children, their futures, society as a whole, and our legacies. It doesn't matter if it's called a family, clan, den, or pride; fathers were created to be providers, protectors, and leaders to those where a family bond exist. I believe that in spite of our differences and no matter who you are, reality is as fathers, we want and desire the same things for the children we love. Those same things include love, happiness, success, security, safety, good health, and opportunity.
