The Man Whisperer by Rick Johnson Great Book 2 Read!!! Speaking Your Man's Language To Bring Out His Best! Reading From The Book! You have a great power to help yoour husband be a better father. And it's not by giving advice. Your encouragement is very influential in his fathering. In face, you are the greatest asset he has as a father. You can provide him with information about the emotional lives and challenges of your children that he would not be aware of without your support. Also, your edification of him as a father and leader in the home is hugely powerful in garnering the respect of his children. You can build him up in front of the children, gaining him respect that he couldn't garner on his own. When you show him respect and actively acknowledge his leadership, your children will as well. My wife severly scolded the kids any time they exhibited even the slightest amount of disrepect toward me. But if you disrespect him, your children will probably not have much respect for him either. One woman I know frequently criticizes her husband in front of their children. While the kids love him, I'm not surely they respect him. The example their mother gives them is the example they follow. Lastly, you are an excellent barometer to help him gauge how well he is doing as a father. He needs to know what the needs of his children are and when he does something well.
