Dan Clark and his beloved wife are the proud parents of four amazing, accomplished successful and significant children who never got in trouble, always got good grades in school, honor their parents, respect their elders, humbly obey a higher authority, love God and country, refuse to gossip, never cause drama, and as adults continue to be Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent!

The Chorus of Dan's hit song "Special Man" pretty much sums up Dan's commitment to what he believes is the greatest calling in a man's life: "Any Male Can Be A Father, But It Takes A Special Man To Be A Dad!" It's no surprise that Dan was named 2012 Utah Father of the Year! Based on this unique credibility and his curiosity to interview some of the most outstanding significant parents on the planet, Dan shares the simple philosophies, techniques, tools and experiences that equipped him to sculpt and develop his children into responsible, respectful, law abiding, self motivated, high achieving, spiritual beings.

This book is written as a practical application master class to be used by parents as a ready reference with suggested solutions to the most trying parenting issues and child raising challenges you can think of. Philosophies and psychologies including: "The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday!" "Be loyal to those who are not present!" "Discipline is to teach, not to punish - you can't increase a person's performance by making him feel worse!"

Dan firmly believes and emphatically states: because no other success can compensate for failure in the home - because new born babies do not come with an 'Owners Manual' - because parents are reminded in Proverbs 22:6 'Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it' - Dan has assembled a collection of 'must learn' principles we need to teach our children in order for them to become the best version of themselves, transform into responsible adults and eventually become 'significant' parents, including: unconditional love, integrity, mutual respect, duty, honor, compassion, positive discipline, resiliency, faith, repentance, forgiveness, ambition, personal responsibility, strong work ethic, the significance of engaging in wholesome recreational activities and a commitment to service before self.
