About this Item

Paperback. When Jim Hild discovered he was about to become a father, he went looking for advice on how to be the best possible Dad. While he found plenty of excellent parenting books, the only books Hild found on fatherhood were thick, academic tomes written by "experts" who had never raised children of their own. Be a Dad! is Hild's response to this lack of focus on fathers. Based on his own experiences from the birth of his children to their toddler years, Hild's straightforward, humorous discussion of "Dadhood" guides men through the commitment they've made to their children, their partners, and themselves. You're going to make mistakes. Dadhood lies not in how many times you stumble, but how you recover and learn from these events. Any man can be a father, but it takes a true man to be a Dad. Being a Dad requires hard work and sacrifice. It's not a title that's given-it has to be earned. Nor is it a title you can just abandon. Being a Dad is for the long haul, not for the moment. In return, you gain joy and satisfaction that's difficult to express. This item is printed on demand.

About this title

Synopsis

When Jim Hild discovered he was about to become a father, he went looking for advice on how to be the best possible Dad. While he found plenty of excellent parenting books, the only books Hild found on fatherhood were thick, academic tomes written by “experts” who had never raised children of their own.

Be a Dad! is Hild’s response to this lack of focus on fathers. Based on his own experiences from the birth of his children to their toddler years, Hild’s straightforward, humorous discussion of “Dadhood” guides men through the commitment they’ve made to their children, their partners, and themselves.

You’re going to make mistakes. Dadhood lies not in how many times you stumble, but how you recover and learn from these events.

Any man can be a father, but it takes a true man to be a Dad. Being a Dad requires hard work and sacrifice. It’s not a title that’s given—it has to be earned. Nor is it a title you can just abandon. Being a Dad is for the long haul, not for the moment. In return, you gain joy and satisfaction that’s difficult to express.
