Father's are really key to students' academic success in school and out of school. Just yesterday, I had a single mother ask for my advice on her son who is "showing out" in school, and he's just 10 years old. Now he's threaten to be kicked out. After speaking with her in detail, her son is looking for his dad. But what he needs is a true father. Good work Randy!! Round of applause on this series!!

I agree, as dad's we are partly responsible (along with our wives) for our children's education. You all have done a great job in the educational achievements of your children and we all can benefit from the blueprint that was used to make your family succesful. Keep up the good work and continue sharing this powerful information. Great information on this “Blueprint for Academic Success”.

I encourage more Dads to take their daughters on a date, it will help them to understand how a man should treat them later when they start dating. P.S. I have felt that same nervous feeling when I spent one-on-one time with my daughters. But, after the date is over, you both value and appreciate the time together. Good job!!

Before Taylor started her first year of high school last year, I went to the store and bought an invitation card. Inside the card I wrote her an invitation to go out. Since she is quiet and really doesn't say much I was very nervous about how she would react. I put the card in the mail box and waited for them to get home later that day. When she got the letter out and read it, a big smile came over her face. The same way that you felt is how I felt. We think that we are doing a good job but we just don't truly know until moments like those. The next day she got dressed in her best dress and we went out for the evening. I was very pleased that she took it as serious as she did. We had great conversation about the journey that she was about to take and about how the next four years will shape her life. When we returned home I found out that my wife was equally as nervous and later that night we both exhaled. I know exactly how you felt.

Isn't it ironic that God carries us through experiences earlier in our life so that we will be prepared for what He has in store for us later in life. I am glad and thankful for your attitude regarding your children (and my grandchildren) , you are a GREAT DAD to them. Check out the article, "What is a Dad?" on my site. I think they will provide additional inside into this parent child relationship. Maybe you can provide an article for my site on the "blended" family, I think it will help a lot of other men. Thanks for sharing., I know someone else will benefit from your comments. Randy The "DASH" Guy randyclark@thedashguy.com www.thedashguy.com Hi Son,

I will be on the look out for your new book. As i stated before, I try to take trials that have occured in my life and look for the positive. After my mom died I asked GOD the question of why so early. A couple of years later when my dad remarried I felt that my mom was being forgotten, and didn't understand why God was sending me through so many changes so quickly. It wasn't until i got married that I begin to understand the answers to these questions. By going through the experience as a child who's father remarried I begin to relize that GOD was preparing me to live on the other side of the "step" role. I would say that the trials that my children and I have had has been normal father and children incidents and not "step" incidents. There have been a few but most of the backlash has come from outside sources because of our relationship. As a man we all want to hear the word "dad", but i learned to realize that words do not define your role in a childs life it is your actions. Any conversation I have had with my children all I ask is for them to be respectful and honest, because that is what I will always give them in return.I truly believe that if GOD had not allowed me to go through what I had been through and lived both sides of the "step", my family would be part of the 80%. I don't know if I am a friend or foe ( you would have to ask them).Which ever category I fall under it cannot seperate the love and respect that I have for them. I also learned that as a man and dealing with a blended family you have to learn to put your pride aside and learn how to compromise more often. I am looking forward to reading your next article.
