5 Best Parenting and Mental Health Books for Dads with Teenage Sons

These 5 best-selling books are a great back-to-school guide to real practical solutions for Dads with teenage sons in a fast-changing world. For Work-from-home Dads, stay-at-home Dads, Single Dads or traveling Dads with sons. Discover the power of vulnerability, smart parenting and harmonious family relationships you can have with these books.

The 2021–2022 school year is unlike any other and becoming the new norm. Parents learned many lessons on how to be prepared for a remote work lifestyle with children.

Many households got to discover and evaluate the presence or absence of harmony in the household for the first time during the pandemic. The pandemic was either a gift or a curse, depending on your reality and how you perceived it.

A mentally healthy Dad can raise sons with sound mental health to become positive masculine, compassionate and strong men.

Fathers have a challenge this season. So our recommendations are that out of the old norm.

Dating will never be the same for these young men in the post-me-too and Health-passport era.

The coolest kid will be the one with Converse on his feet and NFT Sneakers they will never get to wear in their digital wallet. In the future, we can anticipate the end of IRL (in real life) proms with VR/AR prom takeover.

Meanwhile, obesity continues to rise in the adolescent population with fewer outdoor activities and more gaming, Snapchat days and depression. Suicide is amongst the leading cause of death in teenagers across the United States and the numbers continue to climb.

Dear Dad, you can take on a Hero’s challenge by simply being prepared and thinking outside the bubble.

You see, dear Dad, your children don’t need your advice. Or so they think (or so it is). Teens are set with devices on their fingertips ( paid by you, likely!) to replace their parental advice with Quora forums, their favorite Youtuber or Snapchat friends to solve their problems. They get the answers they want to hear from ‘the experts’ in their world.

So, from the voices of Generation X and Y, read and experimented by a Millennial parent of teens, here are our favorite books we think you will enjoy to master parenting, discover your super powers and be the COOLEST AND BEST DAD ON EARTH!

Note: Claim your super power now to learn about parenting, self-evaluation techniques and positive masculinity. Though, should extending your seeds into the world be in your realm, you are encouraged to pick up one or a few of our reading recommendations.

Happy Reading!

I AM SO THE BOSS OF YOU by Kathy Buckworth

This title says it all. Point. Blank. Period.

The only female author to be featured in this list, Kathy Buckworth hits home with an action plan and guide on how to master control of your household without losing your cool or time. A former corporate executive and manager for a team of over 20 members, Buckworth demonstrates how to overthrow democratic parenting and overcome self-entitled children.

For a single-dad household, chances are that you have your super powers intact and keeping your ducks in line. However, in case you are falling in a trap with your children, perhaps this book can help as a guide to bring back order.

For a two-parent household, it is recommended to read the book and just leave it around the coffee table or a common area ‘accidentally’ for your partner to discover. You may not be prepared to answer when your wife asks whether you question her parenting ability by handing her a book on how to be a parent.

Though should this happen, no worries. Just let her know, the book title reminded you of her and how much you appreciate her being the boss (to the children, of course! Don’t say this either!).

If you can manage a team at work, you can manage a team at home. That’s pretty much how it works, Buckworth suggests in the book.

Run your home like a corporation. Learn how to fire your children without kicking them out to the streets.

How much time have you saved when you stopped to remind your teen to mow the lawn? Or do they even pause their Call of Duty marathon for a chore session?

I Am So The Boss of You is a fun read with structured tips and immediate actions you can implement with children from toddlers to young adults still living at home.

THE RATIONAL MALE by Rollo Tomassi

Your son will thank you for your open mind to simplify what being rational looks like, for both men and women.

Dear Dads, your sons and daughters should read this book too. At least when the day comes that she says : “I’m going out with my friends” and the time reads 11 P.M. And you are doing your best to keep that pistol down.

Like it or loathe it, innate human needs of males and females remain universal across time. There are of course, exceptions, and some varied. Feelings appear irrelevant for the broken hearts and you may find yourself appreciating the eastern traditional ways that the West has rejected and invested socialist movements to dismantle what has always worked.
