DESCRIPTION:
While there have been many books about child development and motherhood, precious little has been written about how fathers change and develop as parents or about how children influence their fathers' development. Illustrated throughout with New Yorker style cartoons that underscore the universality of the joys and woes of parenting, Father for Life is brimming with insights and advice, and is an indispensable, lifelong guide — not only for every dad, but for every mom and child as well.. Fathers evolve and develop throughout every stage of their children's lives — from the preschool and elementary school years through the tumultuous teens, young adulthood, middle age, grandfather years, and beyond. In this ground-breaking book, Armin Brott presents the stages of fatherhood with the same thoroughness, accessibility, and humor that have made his critically acclaimed books the most popular fatherhood guides in the country. Brott covers everything from such general issues as how to juggle work and family roles, how to affect the kind of person your child becom
"Brott writes honestly and earnestly. His wry sense of humor will be a relief to hassled parents." -- Time magazine
Too much of an overview Juan C Villamil I saw a couple of reviews on this book, in a newspaper in Mexico City, and decided to pick up a copy because both reviews were very positive. Besides, I recently became a father so this could be helpful.In general, the book is enjoyable to read but it has one shortcoming in my opinion.As a father of a one year old boy, I thoroughly enjoyed the pertinent chapters and could relate to what I read. The other chapters (puberty, teens, leaving home) were not very interesting, for me at lea. Inspirational Book I bought this book over 6 years ago and find myself going back and reading it every 6 months or so. Inspires me to try and be a better dad.
