Passing the Baton: 100 Life Principles and Skills Every Father Needs to Teach His Children
"Time is tight, life is busy, and besides, there are still years before the kids leave home." Really? Most dads are surprised to learn that somewhere between their 5th and 6th birthday, we cross the halfway point for all the hours we'll ever spend with our kids before they leave home. Integrity and character in a father is an essential start, but unfortunately, many dads think that is enough and miss those teachable moments to transfer their own wisdom and experience on to their kids. In "Passing the Baton", Grady Hauser offers 100 age-appropriate life principles and skills that open the door for life changing moments with your children. A book not so much to be read, but a book to be done. Read it now---spend the next 18 years doing it.

Passing the Baton
By Gardy Hauser.
Subtitled principles and skills every father needs to teach his children, this is a very practical book that provides fathers with ideas and strategies to develop the relationship with his children.
It is an easy to read book, and each strategy or principal is simple to implement. There are strategies for every age group.
The principles are character building for both father and child, and will create memories that will last a life time.
The book is divided into Spiritual Principles, General Principles, General Skills and knowledge, and Financial Principles and Skills, as well as being separated in age categories: Age 5 to 11; Early Teens – 12 to 15; and old Teens 16+.
From advice on working smarter, to relationship development, friends and marriage; from doing the laundry to first aid. There is an extensive list of advice in short pieces.
Valuable for every father to read and implement.
