A significantly updated, revised, and expanded guide to all
aspects of fatherhood during a child?s second and third years by
the best-selling, critically acclaimed author of The Expectant
Father. At what age should you introduce your child to computers?
When and how should you go about drawing up a will? The day your
child starts preschool, how will you cope with the pangs of adult
separation anxiety? The answers to these questions and hundreds
more are found in the pages of this information-packed volume.
Author Armin Brott devotes a chapter to every three months of the
second and third years. In each chapter, Brott charts the physical,
intellectual, verbal, and emotional changes the child is going
through and examines the emotional and psychological developments
the father may be experiencing. He discusses issues that may
develop between fathers and their partners as well as matters that
involve the whole family. In addition, each chapter contains a
section called "You and Your Child," in which activities and issues
appropriate to the given age are discussed. New topics in this
revised and expanded edition cover the latest research on child
development, including brain growth. There is more advice for dads
who are older, single, or in the military; fathers of preemies and
multiples; stepfathers; and stay-at-home dads. This new edition
adds information on a wide range of subjects, from helping a child
grieve over the loss of a relative or a pet to health and safety
issues to care of special-needs children. Incorporating the
author?s and other fathers? personal experiences, as well as the
advice of top researchers in the field, and illustrated throughout
with delightful New Yorker-style cartoons underscoring the
universality of the joys and woes of parenting, A Dad?s Guide to
the Toddler Years is an essential sourcebook for every dad. It?s
certain to give every mom helpful insights as well.
