The golden rules of child rearing are explored in this poignant, touching, and honest true-to-life story. Upon the birth of the first of his four sons, the author reexamines his life, and through the retelling, illustrates the true path, although not the easiest one to take, which assures a parent's victory as my little fellow's dad.On a chapter-to-chapter basis we see the author deal with subjects such as: protecting the children, the necessity of babysitters, the need to deal head on with lying, discipline, and so forth. With each issue we are given an intimate understanding of why Snyder feels strongly about these issues and of how they've played a part in his and his children's lives.
