A Journey To Fatherhood

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Raising a Father. All opinions are 100% mine.



Have you read Arjun Sen's book Raising a Father? If you haven't, I recommend that you should. It is a story about how a father learned a lot from his daughter. For many years, he was busy in his corporate world until one day, he realized he doesn't know his daughter at all. He gave up his job and spent time raising his daughter. My husband also shared his views about fatherhood. Most of the time, I am the one taking care and spending most of the time with our daughter. I can't blame him because he needs to work to provide our daily needs. But there were really times that he was guilty for not giving quality time with our child. There were some activities that he missed because of his work. He just tried to make it up on weekends or whenever he is available.

But one time, when he was at home because he was on leave, he shared to me that he was also learning from our daughter. I also agreed with him because children not only learn from their parents, parent also learned from their children. That's why, it's also necessary for us to listen to our kids, too. Communicating with them is a two-way interaction, not only one way. We have to open not only our eyes but our minds as well. And just like Raka, Sen's daughter from this book, I believe that my daughter's charm, patience, love, and caring nature taught her father how to be a better dad and person. Check out Raising A Father video shown below and learn something out from it!

Raising A Father Book

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Raising a Father. All opinions are 100% mine.

One of my favorite pastimes is reading a book. If you've noticed, I love featuring some of the books that I've read and I tried to share my opinion or views, too. Lately, I browsed the net and found another interesting book to read. The title of the book is Raising a Father, authored by Arjun Sen, and I really hope to own a copy of this.

After reading the summary of this book, I got carried away. It talked about a father's journey to understand and learn about his daughter. It also took him 37 years to realize that he did not know his daughter. So, he quit his job and began his journey as a real dad. The father was really busy from his corporate job and his young daughter used her charm, patience, love, and her caring nature to train her dad to become a better father and a better person.

Personally, I have good relationship with my deceased father. And for those whose father is still alive or whose father is estranged to them, I recommend that you try to read this book. I believe that you will learn something out from it. Most especially to the busy fathers out there, I highly suggest that you grab a copy of this, too. The presence of a father really matters to the kids and I will never forget the line said in one of the movies that I've watched that "a child without a father is like a house without a roof".

Here's Raising A Father Book trailer by Arjun Sen. Enjoy the video!
