The Art of Raising Significant Children

HOW TO PREPARE KIDS FOR A WORLD THEY RECOGNIZEAs 2012 Utah Father of the Year -having raised four extraordinary children -Dan shares countless nuggets of wisdom including: why we shouldn't try to choose our children's friends; the only person they need to be better than is the person they were yesterday; trust is developed when we are always loyal to those who are not present; discipline is to teach, not to punish; etc.



Because no other success can compensate for failure in the home - because new born babies do not come with an 'Owners Manual' - because parents are reminded in Proverbs 22:6 'Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it' - Dan has assembled a collection of 'must learn' principles we need to teach our children in order for them to become the best version of themselves, transform into responsible adults and eventually become 'significant' parents, including: unconditional love, integrity, mutual respect, duty, honor, obedience, compassion, positive discipline, resiliency, faith, repentance, forgiveness, ambition, personal responsibility, strong work ethic, the significance of engaging in wholesome recreational activities and a commitment to service before self.
