Review: Certainly not a Bible on fathering or parenting but a great practical handbook!

I was very interested in this book when I got it. I am a work from home person and Dad so I spend a lot more time with my kids than most get a chance to, but I too have deadlines as well as some occassional travelling to do.Three years ago, on fathers day, my kid said something that made me re-think my purpose of life and commitment as father. I introspected a lot. I made a decision I was going to be a terrific father. I have been researching, tweaking, making adjustments, reading and learning ever since. This book has helped me in that category.Lets face it, there are really tough days when we only have few minutes to have a meaningful interaction with our kids.The reason this book fits for me is it enhances our relationships with our kids and takes it to the next level. If all we did was spend one-minute a day with our kids, than our kids might not end up that great- a reason I was really scpetical about the title and I do not think you can be a super dad in one minute a day.However, this book doesmanage to address and suggest essential conversations that as fathers we need to have with our kids. It stokes the internal wheels in our heads to think about having intimate and authentic relationships with our kids. Not a Bible on fathering but certainly a great handbook!
