Every Dad and Mom in America wants to raise a resilient kid. This 2nd Edition of “Four Lessons from My Three Sons” – expanded to include guidance for parents in a post-lockdown world – explains how the author’s parenting techniques helped propel his sons to the U.S. Naval Academy, Williams College, and West Point and beyond.
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 pop jargon or a sentimental fatherhood “journey.” It’s tough and hard and fast. Nelligan used the everyday word of Dads and Moms and kids 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? Their bios are inside the book.
In 60 minutes, this book will give Dads and Moms a new look at family relationships and new ways of interacting with their sons and daughters. Contained here are the fundamental steps you can take to raise a confident, alert, and ambitious child. That’s because success in anything follows the resilient kid.
