Their First Teacher is You! If You Want to Become a Better Parent, First Become a Better Person. A Loving and Encouraging Memoir for Parents, Written by a Teacher and FatherBy: Duncan C. NutterTheir First Teacher is You is a memoir and parental advice mash-up. Father of seven children and author Duncan C. Nutter has a unique and varied background not only as a father but as an educator for primary and middle-school students. His primary goal is to make parents more conscious of what they are modeling for their children. This is not a how-to guide but a call to action for parents to begin to acknowledge their accountability in how they live their lives and the best way to model their lifestyle as a positive and nurturing environment for their children. Nutter himself has struggled with being bullied, physical and mental abuse and has turned those challenges into learning experiences, becoming "that teacher," the one who demands all students are held accountable for their actions through academics and behavior while keeping his own example in check. This is a powerful model for parents as active parent involvement with positive examples speaks volumes over words.
