BIG PROBLEMS, LITTLE PROBLEMS

The story of how a dad teaches his son to solve the daily challenges of life and, in turn, the surprising ways in which a child can teach a grown-up to remember what is important, too.

Written with lessons that apply to any family with young children, the book is distinctively told from a father's perspective, and built on how a son and dad listen to and learn from each other. This is a tale of how to conquer frustration no matter what the problem. A dad and his son solve the daily challenges of life. The dad counsels the boy not to sweat the small stuff, and in a delightful twist, the boy gives that counsel right back to the dad.
