""There When He Needs You" is a superb, vibrant, and comprehensive
guide for fathers at every stage of development. Both practical and
inspirational, and with abundant, useful, and poignant case
examples, it is a significant contribution to the parenting
literature, and will be of inestimable value to fathers and their
families. Dr. Bernstein is to be commended for authoring a book
that will surely deepen and enrich the lives of the men who read
it, as well as the lives of the children whom they raise." -- Brad
E. Sachs, Ph.D., author of "When No One Understands: Letters to a
Teenager on Life, Loss, and the Hard Road to Adulthood" and "The
Good Enough Child: How to Have an Imperfect Family and Be Perfectly
Satisfied"
""There When He Needs You" poignantly captures a man's struggle to
become the father his son needs. Neil Bernstein's timely book is
filled with real-life stories that entertain, inform, and inspire
better parenting. It's a wonderfully written gift that I highly
recommend to all families." -- Michael Gurian, author of "The
Wonder of Boy"s and "The Wonder of Girls"
"Finally, a father-friendly book on the topic of dads raising sons!
Neil Bernstein is wise and passionate as he reminds fathers how
much good we do when we seize the chance to connect with our sons."
-- Neil Chethik, author of "FatherLoss: How Sons of All Ages Come
to Terms with the Deaths of Their Dads"
"In a wake-up call for today's fathers, Dr. Bernstein targets the
'half-there dad' -- the father trying to do everything but
inadvertently cutting corners and shortchanging his son. Humane,
blunt, with compelling stories throughout, Dr. Bernstein's useful
advice will help men break through any generational and emotional
barriers they face and allow them to become the 'all-around dad'
that every son wants. If you read one fathering book, make sure
that this is it." -- Michele Borba, Ed.D., author of "Parents Do
Make a Difference: How to Raise Kids with Solid Character, Strong
Minds, and Caring Hearts"
"Our kids only get one father. So we dads better make sure that we
get it right. The good news is that Neil Bernstein has written the
book to show us the way. This gem is easy to read, down to earth,
practical, and solid. What a gift to us guys who are trying to get
it right for our kids' sake." -- David Walsh, Ph.D., author of "No:
Why Kids -- of All Ages -- Need to Hear It and Ways Parents Can Say
It"
"Refreshingly unpreachy. . . Bernstein's overall message is
enlivening. Using real-life examples to the best possible effect,
he quickly and effectively shows readers how other fathers have
broken negative cycles and corrected mistakes that have, in some
cases, persisted throughout generations." --Douglas C. Lord,
"Library Journal", April 1, 2008
"This. . . should be handed out to all men as they leave the
hospital with a newborn son. Bernstein makes convincing arguments
on a range of fatherhood issues. . . Consistently enlightening." --
"Publishers Weekly", April 21, 2008
