About This Book
Presence is not proximity. You can be in the same house as your child every single day and still be completely absent from their emotional world. Most men donβt know this is happening until the damage is already done β until the child stops trying to reach them, or until they look up one day and realize the distance between them feels permanent.
This book is for the father who is there β physically, financially, logistically β and still knows something is missing. It names the five types of emotional absence. It shows you what your child is actually experiencing. And it gives you the specific, practical language and habits to finally close the gap.
βBeing in the room is not the same as being present. Your child knows the difference.β
