I would like to say how impressed I am with the loftiness of the parental objectives you have shared. I particularly appreciate the motivation behind each affirmation being nothing short of the development of excellence as a defining characteristic within our children and ourselves. These talking points remind us of our limitations as fathers, and more importantly of our ability to rise above these shortcomings. Do you have any other writings on father-child relationships? I am interested in reading more! Thank you Mr. Smith!
