LTJA: An Example for Fathers By Israel Wayne
I once read a survey where children were asked what they thought was the most important academic subject. It turned out that it was whatever subject that their father helped them with in their homework. The reason given was that children assume, since Dad is busy, if he is going to take time out of […]
