What Every Daughter Should Know Before She Leaves Home
Last week we came up with an incredible list of things every son should know how to do before he leaves home. Several dads suggested we make a list for daughters...so let's do it.

Creating a Win-Win with Your Child – Stephen Covey
The following was forwarded by familyman Alan Olson and is taken from Dr. Stephen Covey’s blog.
As a husband, father, grandfather and most recently a great-grandfather, I am thrilled with my growing family. They are my greatest blessing and my greatest joy.
Even still I’ve wondered over the years what mistakes I have made as a father. Of course, there are mistakes along the way. Looking back I think one of the things I would have done differently as a parent is spending more time developing informal win-win agreements with each of my children. Doing this consistently and over time, covering the different phases of their lives would have been beneficial.

Hey Dad,
McDonald's Monopoly is back, and I was thinking that if we could utilize the collective might of Team Familyman, we ought to be able to win one of those great prizes. So...I will split the prizes between those who help us win.
Raising Dorks – Jonathan Acuff
I was forwarded the following blog article written by Prodigal Jon. The guy has a point…a dad’s point. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I don’t have any hard data on this, but I think that of all the major world religions, Christianity has the highest dork per capita ratio. Did I say that right? Is there a different metric we’re using to measure number of dorks that I should have referenced instead? Are we still rolling with the per capita ratio? It’s so hard to find good research on this topic.
Fifty Years From Now – Andy Denton
The very first time I heard this song on the radio I knew it was important. I was so impacted by the words that I quickly scrambled to write down the song name and artist. All I could find was a scrap 12 inch piece of a 2X4. I scribbled the information down on it and TEN years later it still sits near my desk.
