Yes, Alex! My sister, a kindergarten teacher of 35 years, recently explained to me all about the gentle parenting craze. It’s a cleverly disguised( or not so clever) excuse to be a lazy parent and abdicate your responsibilities to do the hard stuff in the name of a ridiculous new method. Of course, the results are very clear from teachers: it doesn’t work! Excited for you, Alex! Congratulations! This is a desperately needed book for our current time.

It's high time they wrote us fathers back into the equation!

Have not finished the book yet but it is “ real.” Real advice. I would write a review on Amazon but I have a lifetime ban for “ hateful writing.”

Alex - this is a very important book. As I wrote yesterday, I have had two families configured just like yours - thirty years apart. First failed, second doing fine.

As a reviewer of 600+ books I have (1) become very familiar with a lot of relevant literature, and (2) at the request of Andy Slavit, for Joe Biden, been banned for life by Amazon. I'd love to see my review there, but somebody else will have to post it.

I am commenting the entire book. My public review consist of some extract from my comments. I have posted my work to date at

I boycott every product that advertises with a "cute" doofus father figure that doesn't know what he is doing.

Great job. Excellent summary on how to be a good man and a great dad. Having 6 grown kids, I see how these tips, were incorporated in my interactions with my children, my sons particularly.

Ordered.

I have now bought and read all your books.

I would never have discovered you if it wasn’t for your stance on all the covid madness.

Keep it all up 🤣
