Book Description The best-selling series of parenting
handbooks for new dads is now available in a two-volume boxed set.
An ideal gift for the birth of a child, these books skillfully and
with humor guide men through the daunting experience of being a new
father, from birth through the toddler years. The first volume, The
New Father: A Dad''s Guide to the First Year, answers hundreds of
questions, such as, How can you become an effective, involved
father when you see your baby for only half an hour after work
every day? and What is the best way to start saving for your
child''s college education? Author Armin 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 suggests activities appropriate
to each month and covers such parenting issues as finding quality
child care and understanding changes in the relationship with one''s
partner. The second volume, The New Father: A Dad''s Guide to the
Toddler Years, devotes a chapter to every three months of the
second and third years, addressing such questions as, At what age
should you introduce your child to computers? and what guidelines
should you follow when choosing a preschool? Following the format
of the previous volume, this book examines a multitude of topics,
including dealing with the baby''s fears, choosing play activities,
developing a parenting style, toilet training, and teaching kids
about money. Incorporating the author''s and other fathers'' personal
experiences, as well as the advice of top researchers in the field,
the books are illustrated with delightful cartoons that will make
even the most anxious father chuckle.
