What do You Mean, I Can't Park Here?! Michael Herrmann

How would you collect the most important lessons you have learned in life and pass them on to your kids? What if something happens to you before your kids are old enough to understand the lessons you want to teach them? Life is precious and short. Many years ago Mike started writing out some of the important lessons he had learned related to love, hard work, freedom, faith, living a full life and finding happiness. This started as a letter to his children, a way to leave something of value for them if something happened to him. It developed into an instruction manual to help fathers understand how important they are to their children, and how important it is to teach their children the concepts of love, faith, family, freedom and happiness. Every discussion of school shootings, sex crimes, drug abuse or gang violence includes the subject of mental health. Yet, America struggles to understand mental health and the impact it has on society. Research has consistently proven one important lesson over and over again. Parenting is the most important influence on mental health in any person's life. This book contains considerable information to support this. Before any nation, government, law or religion was ever established there was the family. Before any king, pharaoh, president, congressman, dictator, judge, pastor, priest or executive there was dad. A father is the foundation of leadership. All other leadership in the nation is dependent on a father being a leader in his home, but you can't truly lead until you understand that you answer to a higher authority as well. Mike is a husband of 25 years and father of three with 20 years of service in various aspects of public safety, protection services and mental health treatment. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a Master's degree in Forensic Mental Health.
