FAQ For 52 Letters to My Son
1. What is 52 Letters to My Son?
52 Letters to My Son is a year‑long fatherhood formation and initiation program built to help you think, act, and lead as a professional father. Each week, you receive teachings, reflections, and guided prompts that lead you to write one legacy letter to your children. By the end, you will have produced a complete body of fatherly wisdom, 52 letters shaped by clarity, maturity, and responsibility.
This is not a casual parenting course. It is structured formation for men who want to build their family culture, strengthen their leadership, and leave an inheritance of wisdom to their children and future descendants.
2. Who is this program for?
This program is designed for:
- Fathers and grandfathers who wish to become professional fathers, men who master the duties of fatherhood with intention and skill.
- Men who were underfathered but refuse to pass that deficit on to their children.
- Fathers who are willing to think deeply, act consistently, and lead their families with clarity and strength.
- Men with children of any age, unborn, young, adult, or already parents.
- If you are committed to raising competent sons and daughters and shaping a lasting family culture, this program is built for you.
3. Do I have to be religious to benefit from this?
No. The program is grounded in natural law, first principles, and the universal patterns of human development. It does not require adherence to any religious system.
At the same time, it is fully compatible with serious religious belief. The program does not replace your existing beliefs, it strengthens your ability to articulate and transmit it to your children.
4. Does this conflict with my religious beliefs?
No. The program does not impose doctrine or dogma. Instead, it gives you a structure for thinking clearly about fatherhood, morality, responsibility, and the development of children.
You bring your own beliefs, and the program helps you express them with greater clarity, consistency, and authority.
5. What if I am not a good writer?
Remember that you are writing to your children. Your letters do not need to sound academic or polished, they need to sound fatherly. A child does not require eloquence; they require clarity, sincerity, and strength.
The program guides you step‑by‑step, making the writing process natural. As you move through the weekly reflections and prompts, you will discover that the structure itself teaches you how to express what matters.
And here is a truth many fathers discover: after writing all 52 letters, your writing ability improves so dramatically that you may feel compelled to return to the earlier letters and refine them. This is proof of your growth. The act of writing consistently will sharpen your thinking, your clarity, and your ability to communicate as a father.
You do not need to start as a good writer. You will end as one.
6. What if I am not close to my children right now?
If you are distant or estranged from your children, this work becomes even more important. Writing allows you to express what is in your heart, without interruption, without tension, and without the pressure of a face‑to‑face conversation that may not yet be possible.
As long as you are not legally prevented from contacting them, these letters can begin rebuilding trust over time. Whether they read them immediately or not does not matter. What matters is that you are forming clarity, identity, and blessing, something they can return to when they are ready.
When you complete all 52 letters, you may choose to print and bind them into a book. Send it to their home. Send copies to your grandchildren. Ensure in your will that each child receives a copy of your completed letters. This creates a permanent, undeniable record of your love, effort, and responsibility.
Writing these letters is a visible act of care. It shows your children, now or in the future, that you are investing time, money, and energy into their good. Few things will speak more powerfully on your behalf.
This program can help re‑open doors that have long been shut. It prepares you for reconciliation by making you the kind of man your children can trust again.
7. What ages is this for?
This program works whether your children are not yet born, very young, teenagers, adults, or already parents themselves.
You are not only writing for your children, you are writing for your lineage. These letters become an inheritance that benefits future generations.
You may write letters that are beyond your child’s current level of understanding. That is not a problem. Those letters will wait for them and become valuable when they reach the right age.
This also becomes a kind of insurance: if anything ever happens to you, illness, distance, or death, your children will still have access to your wisdom, your teaching, and your love.
Whether your children are toddlers or grown adults, these letters will meet them when they need them most.
8. What if I have multiple children?
Congratulations, many children are a blessing, and this program is designed to serve fathers with large families just as well as those with one child.
You may:
- Write one set of letters addressed to all of your children, or
- Write different versions over time tailored for each child.
Both approaches work beautifully. The principles you learn will support whichever path you choose.
9. How much time does this require each week?
Approximate time: 60–120 minutes.
We want you to limit your time to this window. This keeps you from falling into perfectionism or endless rewriting. The goal is steady, weekly completion, not literary perfection.
Treat the time limit as part of the discipline: finish each week’s letter, close the work, and move forward.
Consistency, not over-analysis, is what transforms you and builds the inheritance your children will receive.
10. How is the program delivered?
Each week, you receive a structured module through email and our learning platform (Kajabi). Every module includes:
- A fatherhood teaching grounded in first principles.
- A reflection that deepens your understanding.
- A clear writing prompt guiding you toward that week’s legacy letter.
The structure ensures that by the end of 52 weeks, you have both grown as a father and created a lasting inheritance for your children.
11. Can I start at any time, or is there a fixed start date?
The full program officially begins on Friday, January 2nd, 2026, when the first letter and module are released.
However, you may start at any time. Whenever you enroll, you will begin at Week 1 and move through the program in the exact same sequence as everyone else.
Inside the community group, you will see fathers at many different stages, some beginning, some in the middle, some nearing completion. No matter where others are at, you will always be able to participate fully.
Whether you start in January or six months later, you will follow the same 52‑week path with the same clarity and structure.
12. What if I fall behind?
If you miss a week because of travel, illness, or the demands of life, do not pressure yourself to "catch up" immediately.
Set that week's material aside and move on to the next week's letter. Maintain the weekly rhythm, this prevents discouragement and keeps you from abandoning the work altogether.
After you complete all 52 letters, return to the ones you missed. Finish them in the weeks that follow your initial run. This ensures you complete the entire program without disrupting your pace.
Staying in motion is more important than staying perfectly on schedule. The discipline of weekly completion is what shapes you into a professional father.
13. Can I do this if I am divorced or separated from my child’s mother?
Yes. In fact, written clarity and intentional blessing become even more important when the family structure is fractured.
These letters allow you to be present in your child's formation even when schedules, distance, or conflict make ordinary communication difficult. Your writing restores stability and identity, two things children need most during separation.
14. Can this help if my child is already an adult?
Yes. Adults still need clarity, blessing, and direction from their father. Many men and women carry wounds or confusion from childhood that can be healed when their father finally speaks clearly and truthfully.
These letters become anchors, guiding them in marriage, career, and their own role as parents.
15. Is this only for sons? What about daughters?
You can (and should) write to all of your children, sons and daughters alike.
We use the phrase "to my son" in the traditional, colloquial sense found in many languages (including Portuguese and Spanish), where the masculine form can refer to all children collectively.
It is also a simpler and more memorable title for the program, but the content applies fully to daughters as well.
Most letters will be identical for sons and daughters. A few may require fatherly nuance, certain topics may be expressed differently depending on whether the message is meant for a boy or a girl.
As a father, you will decide how to tailor these moments. The structure supports both paths.
In the future, we will release a dedicated version of the program for mothers to write to their sons and daughters. For now, this edition is written from father to child, regardless of sex.
16. Can grandfathers participate?
Yes. Grandfathers are warmly welcomed.
You may write these letters for all of your grandchildren.
You may also write to your grown children, giving them clarity and identity they may have missed, and they can pass those letters on to their own children.
Generational wisdom is strongest when fathers and grandfathers work together.
17. Can mothers or grandmothers participate?
The program and community are designed specifically for fathers.
Mothers and grandmothers are welcome to join the mailing list for future updates.
A dedicated program for mothers and grandmothers will be developed later.
18. Is there coaching or direct access to you?
Yes. Coaching is available as a separate, optional service.
I am especially interested in working with fathers who are actively participating in the program, because they already have the structure and vocabulary needed for deep, productive work.
You may book sessions directly through the coaching link provided on the site. At this time there are no free discovery calls, this ensures coaching time is reserved for committed fathers and keeps the program scalable.
Coaching is entirely optional. The 52‑week program stands fully on its own, but coaching can accelerate your development and provide direct, personalized guidance.
19. What is your refund and cancellation policy?
You may cancel your subscription at any time. When you cancel, no further payments will be taken.
Because this is a digital program delivered weekly and usable immediately upon receipt, refunds are not offered for previous payments.
Annual and lifetime memberships are non‑refundable once purchased, as full access to the material is granted immediately.
If you are unsure, begin with the monthly option, you can always upgrade later.
20. How is this different from a parenting course or a men’s group?
This is not a parenting course, and it is not a men’s group. It is fatherhood formation and initiation.
Parenting courses often give techniques or general theories. Men’s groups offer community or encouragement. Both can be helpful, but neither replaces the disciplined work of a father shaping the identity of his children.
This program is father‑led by design. You are not outsourcing fatherhood to me or to a community. I provide a framework, an epistemology, a way of thinking clearly about the principles that govern fatherhood. But you teach your children from your own moral center, your own beliefs, and your own lived experience.
I do not tell you what to think; I teach you how to think as a father. You discover your own clarity, and you transmit your worldview to your children through the letters.
Unlike a men’s group, this work produces a physical inheritance, 52 letters that form a legacy your children, grandchildren, and future descendants will receive.
No other program gives you a father‑led epistemology and a generational artifact built by your own hand.
21. How soon will I see changes in myself and my family?
Many fathers feel a change immediately after signing up. Taking responsibility and stepping into a defined path toward mastery creates an internal shift, you begin to feel more solid, more directed, more purposeful.
All fathers will experience noticeable internal changes by the end of the third letter. These early letters, on your child's birth, their name, and your family, activate clarity, identity, and emotional grounding. These changes naturally manifest in your behavior.
Your family may notice these changes before you do. Your voice becomes stronger, your presence firmer, and your decisions clearer. You, too, will feel these shifts as you write.
This is the natural effect of aligning your actions with your highest responsibilities. When a father begins living in accord with his duty, the entire family feels it.
22. Is this psychological therapy or counseling?
No. This program is not therapy, and it is not designed to diagnose or treat any mental illness.
52 Letters teaches maturity, professional fatherhood, and a disciplined way of thinking. You will develop a framework, a father’s epistemology, for how to approach the challenges of raising children, how to speak to them, what stances to take on important issues, and how to guide them into adulthood.
It is not medicine in the clinical sense. But it can strengthen and heal an undeveloped man by giving him clarity, responsibility, and the tools to grow into the father he has the potential to become.
If you require medical or psychological treatment, seek a licensed professional. This program complements such work by forming your character and your capacity as a father.
