Opis

Using humor and insight, Dr. Holdsambeck describes the life of a man rearing daughters. Each chapter has a unique theme that draws from either simple observations ("they smell babies") or years of clinical experience ("special moms"). The themes were designed to highlight how differently some dads and their daughters experience the world. Dr. Holdsambeck is a psychologist and a board certified behavior analyst. He has been a tenured instructor of psychology and a clinician for decades. He has been an invited speaker at many symposiums and scientific conferences. Most importantly however, he is a father of three girls. Anyone who has had the task of getting young ladies off to school ("graduating magna comb loudly") or coaching them in adolescence ("devine cat herding") will instantly relate to those chapters. Some of the chapters tackle serious subjects like our relationship with money or raising children with special needs but most were selected simply to amuse. Enjoy!
