Reviews

The Modern-Day Dad is the first book that I have come across that is written by a Singaporean father to help fathers be better fathers. It is very well-researched and comes with many practical examples to help fathers apply evidence-based principles and tools in their day-to-day fathering role. Whether you are a father who needs help with being a father, or a good father who wants to do even better, you will find this book written by Parcsen a godsend. Mothers too can benefit from this rich resource. The greatest beneficiaries are our children—the more fathers who read and use the tips in this book, the more children shall be blessed.

Attention to all fathers! This unique, reader-friendly book invites you to learn (and re-learn), reflect, and be motivated to know that it is never too late to be an involved father. Passionately written by Parcsen Loke, who has played a significant role in influencing fathers in Singapore through coaching, training, and counseling, it is a compelling read for modern Asian fathers of all ages. What’s more, the practical tips on parenting and understanding our children are so relevant to Asian societies today and are equally invaluable for all mothers (and grandparents). It is never too late to be an involved parent.
