How To Raise Your Daughter Without Reading A Book - One Dad's Rules To Live By is an inspiring and sometimes funny book written by first time author Christopher Hoyt. On September 25, 1992, everything changed in the author's life. On that day, his daughter Kirstin was born. To complicate matters, 15 months later his marriage died. The sense of not knowing how to raise his child seemed like an overwhelming task. What if he made a mistake? What if he didn't do the right things? For the first time in his career he hadn't been given an SOP, a training manual, or even a lesson plan. He was a trained police officer. Where was his manual? He uses short stories to show how he used daily activities to teach his daughter life's lessons. After each story is a Rule To Live By. An example of a rule is "The value of time is far more precious than the value of things." Whether you're a parent, a grandparent, an aunt or an uncle, you will find this book interesting and inspiring.
