This review is from: Fathering Your Toddler (Paperback)

We received the "New Father" version along with the many other books that you get given at a baby shower. As a result, it went on the shelf like all the others ;) One day, we dipped into it and have found it to be the best "one stop" resource we have. Although written with a fathering focus, we have found the book to be an invaluable resource for us as our child has grown (he is now 18 months and we are using the Toddler edition). More than any other book, the developmental stages outlined at the beginning of each paragraph have proved spot on every single time; remarkably so in fact. Furthermore, these books cover issues that you really battle with as new parents (separation anxiety, sharing, etc., ) to great depth and with a pragmatic approach. eat. A great series!!

I started reading the book after my child was well in his second year and it hit the nail on the head. The author has some good advice for caring for your child and planning for the future.

Armin Brott keeps writing wonderful books that help fathers deal with the challenges of being a parent. So much time and energy is devoted to mothers, it is nice to know that someone realizes that fathers play an essential role in their children's development.

As the author of Your Children are Under Attack: How Popular Culture is Destroying Your Kids' Values, and How You Can Protect Them (Sourcebooks, 2005), I especially appreciated how Mr. Brott addresses concerns related to the emerging influence of popular culture on young children, e.g., time in front of computers.

More than anything, I enjoy Mr. Brott's compassionate and humorous style of writing. Though rigorously researched, he offers the information in a reader-friendly format and that is accessible and understandable.

For any father, this book is a great follow-up to The Expectant Father and The New Father.
