Every Dad and Mom in America wants to raise a resilient kid. "Four Lessons From My Three Sons" explains how it's done - and how it propelled the author's sons to the U.S. Naval Academy, Williams College and West Point. Written by a good-natured but unyielding father, this slim volume describes how his off-beat and yet powerful forms of encouragement helped his sons obtain the confidence and character needed to achieve personal success and satisfaction. This book isn't 300 pages of popular child psychology or a fatherhood "journey" filled with meaningless jargon and whining equivocation. It's tough and hard and fast.Nelligan used the everyday word of Dads and sons to punctuate virtuous - and appalling - behavior with comic and sometimes grimly ironic exhortations. "Dad's sayings" - as his sons called them - became a pounding soundtrack in the boys' lives, shaping their fundamental perspectives and behaviors. The result? You see where they went to college; the rest of their bios are inside the book. In 60 minutes, this book will give Dads and Moms a new look at family relationships, parenting boys, and most of all, a new way of interacting with their sons. Contained here are the fundamental steps you can take to raise a confident, alert, and ambitious son. That's because success in anything follows the resilient kid.
