National Media Asking Tough Questions about Dads, Discipline, and Parenting: "How Can Dads Discipline Well?"

New York, NY September 23, 2014:  In the wake of the recent domestic abuse scandals burdening the National Football League, national US media like Fox News, CNN and NewsMax TV are asking tough questions about what is the right way, and the wrong way, for dads to discipline their children.

Recently, a number of national media have turned to father of four and best-selling author on fatherhood, Professor Gregory Slayton, for answers to these questions. Slayton has a unique perspective, having been abandoned by his birth father and then studying fatherhood on five different continents. Slayton's international best-seller "Be a Better Dad Today" has sold almost 150,000 copies in 15 countries worldwide and recently became the first fatherhood book ever published by CITIC Press. CITIC is the second largest publisher in the People's Republic of China. The book is in its 8th printing in the US where it drew rave reviews from America's best known fathers, including Governors Jeb Bush and Sam Brownback, Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman as well as Fortune 500 CEOs and regular dads around the world (see below). The Slayton's give 100% 0f all book royalties to family charities. Please see www.BeABetterDadToday.com .
