Product Description
Listen Up, Dads! Your Teen Is Talking to You!
As exasperating as parenting can be during these volatile years, your teen is depending on you for steady faithfulness, love, and guidance. And because teens often find words elusive and expression difficult, they probably haven’t told you the things they wish you somehow automatically knew. So let Dad, If You Only Knew... be your guide. Josh Weidmann, just out of the teen years himself, joins his father, James, to help dads understand where their kids are coming from. It’s a messy world they live in, and meeting them in it is no simple task. But knowing these essentials now makes fatherhood eight times easier!
Welcome to Your Teen’s World
It doesn’t matter if you have the most picture-perfect, ideal-in-every-way teen or one who’s in full-swing rebellion. That teen you love is a “riddle wrapped in a mystery.” No father can know what his teen is really thinking.
That’s why youth communicator Josh Weidmann teamed with his father, Jim, to help you bridge the gap. In Dad, If You Only Knew…you’ll get an open, honest glimpse inside the teen mind. Josh’s extensive research, combined with pointed direction from a father’s heart, provide you with the practical guidance you need to establish a healthy, thriving father-teen relationship. It’s one you desire, your teen needs, and you both can’t afford to miss.
Story Behind the Book
“The resounding cry of teens for their fathers rings in my ear. I have been speaking to youth for five years and the greatest void I see in teens’ lives is the one left by their dad. I am only twenty-three years old myself, and to this day I can say that my dad is the most influential man in my life. Because of his impact, I have asked him share in this book. We have written this message in hopes of helping dads reengage in the vital father-teen relationship.” —Josh Weidmann

Listen Up, Dad!,

This review is from: Dad, If You Only Knew...: Eight Things Teens Want to Tell Their Fathers (but Don't) (Paperback)
There are a lot of things that kids just can't tell their dads - but wish they could. You can probably think of a few yourself! Josh is a fantastic youth speaker, and has polled kids all over to find out what they wish they could tell their dads... this is an eye opener for parents!As exasperating as parenting can be during these volatile years, your teen is depending on you for steady faithfulness, love, and guidance.

A must read for every Dad (and Mom),
By John Degoede - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dad, If You Only Knew...: Eight Things Teens Want to Tell Their Fathers (but Don't) (Paperback)
I read this book twice, the second time to make notes and a power point to help me in the education of my church community. This is the best writing I have read about Father-Teen relationship. It is actually quite important for mothers to read this as well because often I could just as well read "Parent" instead of "Dad". This book is helping me to better understand my youngest daughter and I wish I would have read this book years ago when my oldest was still a teenager. Hats off to the Weidman's!

Great book by a great guy,
By R. Slouffman "Rob Slouffman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dad, If You Only Knew...: Eight Things Teens Want to Tell Their Fathers (but Don't) (Paperback)
Josh and Jim Weidmann have written one of the most challenging and encouraging books for dads. It's one thing to read a book from a young guy telling you how to parent, it's another thing to read a book written by an amazing father-son combination. As a youth pastor I highly recommed this book to any dad that wants to have a better relationship with their teenagers Great job guys!

Dynamic word for all Dads,
By Jeanne Parrott "Avid for Books" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dad, If You Only Knew...: Eight Things Teens Want to Tell Their Fathers (but Don't) (Paperback)
If you're a dad, this book by Josh and Jim Weidmann is a MUST have for you. You will find the heart of your teen and the path to relationship with that teen. If you feel you are losing touch with the teen in your life (or if your just facing the teen years ahead), you NEED to read this book so you can meet your teen on first base and run the bases of life with them - not against them.
