Parents everywhere are experiencing the distance from their children and their activities. “Just Like My Dad” is a novel that focuses on the plight of children being compared to the mannerisms of their parents. This youth novel explores all sides of how this comparison can have an effect on a child. It is a novel that focuses on the feelings of children but can also be a great teaching moment for parents. “Just Like My Dad” can be beneficial for the two-parent home and homes that are led by single parents.
Many parents struggle with how to start a productive dialog with their children. “Just Like My Dad” helps to create this dialog and encourage children to feel comfortable about talking to their parents. The novel also enlightens parents on the signs to look for when their children begin to demonstrate signs of becoming detached from the family.
“Just Like My Dad” is available online everywhere. This youth novel will invite conversation to help the youth and their parents to learn more about each other. When a child engages in reading, their thinking and learning capabilities expand beyond what can be measured. Our goal is to help children get back to reading casually while separating themselves from the world of the Internet and video games. Children should be able to open up a good dialog with their parents and recapture the art of physically reading a book. “Just Like My Dad” will change lives and close the gap between parents and children. This will help to change the psyche of society and bridge the generational gap that exists in society.
