Best New Father Book I've Found.......2007-08-27

I'm not quite a father yet, but will be soon. I've read a few of these new father books, and many are just terrible -- full of lame jokes, and treating us like we're bumbling, beer-swilling, EPN-watching idiots. This is the first one of these that gave me what I was looking for -- straight, no-nonsense info (with some quiet humor included) about diaper-changing, baby-holding, money-saving, and pep-talk advice on being an involved dad, and treating us like we have the intelligence, humor and eagerness to raise a child. Don't let the cutesy-poo cover and illustrations put you off, this is a great book for dads AND moms (my wife loved it too).

Made my husband feel a lot better.......2007-06-11

I ordered this when my husband was feeling pretty down in the first week after our son was born. I wish I'd gotten it much sooner. He felt much better that what he was experiencing was so normal, and that the things he'd been doing were exactly the right things to do. And, he picked up a few good tricks, and has the benefit of another perspective. Short and sweet, easy read, and I think it really helped him out.

Practical Fun Read.......2006-08-16

I wish I could have read this before my twin boys were born. The style was honest and fun while giving simple and straight forward pro-tips. It is a quick and enjoyable read. The practical content answers a number of key questions, I had as a new father.

Informative and humorous!! .......2006-06-17

What a wonderful approach to fatherhood! Humor is a great tool to teach about sometimes sensitive topics and it makes reading quite a bit more enjoyable! Having 4 children of our own we feel this book is a must for all new fathers!!

It's about time we had a book for new Dads!.......2006-06-13

Thank you for this funny and welcoming approach to Fatherhood! Dads contribute to the development of their baby in many unique ways and you help us to understand the role of a new father better. A must read for every new Dad!

The "best" collection for expecting Dad's and beyond. .......2007-09-07

With its sophisticated "New Yorker" style comics and light hearted, realistic approach. I enjoyed reading these much more than my "What to Expect" books, which I still consider invaluable resources.

I loved how these books covered practical issues, such as college savings and some relationship issues that the Mom geared books don't touch. It supplies advice about weathering Moody Moms and creative ways to offer support. It gives enough relevant information to the Dad to understand and relate to the wife's stages of pregnancy, infant health and development and charts toddlers moods and stages without bogging down with a lot of potentially superfluous detail. These books even have some special "Dad" recipes, like making pretzels in the oven, that are supposed to be fun for Dad and Toddler. (I think that is pretty neat.)

In short these are great books, geared towards Dads, covering some things that the more technical books don't have room for, AND they didn't set off my "sexist" alarms. Let me tell you, my alarms are sensitive. I loved reading these. -The Mom (Oh, and my husband liked them too!)

Fathers have long played second banana to mothers in parenting books, but Armin A. Brott, author of The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips, and Advice for Dads-to-Be and The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year is trying to change all that. In The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the Toddler Years, the third book in his New Father series, Brott takes on the second and third years of life from Dad's perspective--what he's experiencing, and what he should know. In answer to the question, "Why bother to stay involved?" Brott replies, "Three simple reasons: it's good for your kids, it's good for you, and it's good for your relationship with your partner." Brott covers the whole gamut of fatherhood issues, from developmental stages (discussed in three-month blocks) to discipline, dating, even divorce. Rather than focusing solely on kids, Brott discusses the larger experience of being a father, in a well-crafted, sensible manner. The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the Toddler Years gives contemporary fathers their own comprehensive reference to the challenging and delightful toddler years. --Ericka Lutz

Easy read.......2007-01-23

I love this series of books because they read fast and are humorous. My husband enjoyed the first book so much I got him this second one and many times there were things that my parenting books did not have. He enjoyed the humor and the fact that you can pick up and put these books down any time.

This book begs to be ignored.......2006-05-19

I read through this book and learned more about how inadequate the author feels than about anything else. This book is full of generalization, politically correct tripe, and features a disclaimer for the anti-marriage crowd.

I would prefer a book from someone who offends me and takes a position, over a book (like this one) where the author is a coward and refuses to say anything that might be considered politically incorrect.

Not surprising that this author ends the book with a section on how to survive a divorce.

Avoid this book like the plague - it makes a TERRIBLE gift!!!!.......2005-12-12

This is the second book I have received as a gift by this same author. Same cute cover (that I am sure led to the gift purchase), same insanely horrible content. Who on earth wants to be given a book about raising your toddler to flip through and find a chapter on the best strategies to get through a divorce (if the author actually took his own advice in the prior book, I have to assume the divorce information is from experience).

Once again, the author wrote a book focused on his own self doubts and fears, and couched it as a healthy way to raise children.

This is the second book I have ever stuck in the recycling bin instead of contributing to charity after reading it. No one on earth should be punished with this book.

Another great book in an intelligent series for Dads.......2004-06-29

Armin Brott writes terrific parenting books for Dads. They are well researched and the tone is encouraging and friendly. This particular book does a great job of providing insight into the challenges of the toddler years -- why they are such a challenge for parents and toddlers alike. Excellent book.

Andrew Gatchell.......2003-05-13

I bought this book after reading his book on the First Year. Organized in the same manner as the first, except divided into three month periods instead of one month, I found it again informative and funny. The information about temperaments was especially useful. We found books that became some of my daughter's favorites in the lists that he provides. Also, we are following Mr. Brott's advice about allowances and find that we are all learning. Now that my wife is pregnant again, I'm reading the Expectant Father and I expect I'll be re-reading the First Year and the Toddler Years books.

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.

Excellent resource for new dad's.......2007-08-15

Excellent book, well written, easy to read, wealth of useful information presented in an interesting and funny manner.

An excellent book for first time fathers.......2007-07-20

I've been giving this book to all of my friends who are having kids. I found it to cover a broad range of relevant topics in a brief but "complete enough for me" manner. My wife (a physician) found it to be a little superficial in some areas, but I thought the coverage was perfect. A couple of things: 1) I found that it's best to read the chapter for your child's age just before they turn that age so that it's fresh 2) Some of the milestones listed in the book are aggressive - don't feel bad if your child starts crawling, walking or talking after the dates the book provides. PS I also thought the What's Going On in There book by Lise Eliot was good if you want a deep book on child development. It discusses the neurological development of an infant through toddler in layman's terms.

all Dads should read.......2007-02-07

Just like moms have What to expect when your expecting well this is the same for Dads in a form they will understand ( very Manly)

Great book for people who do not read.......2007-01-23

Great for 1st time dads.......2007-01-10

I had read several other books on babies and their first year before this one. I liked this one because it was tailored to the father. It gives easy to understand information about the baby, the baby's development, what your wife is going through (physically and emotionally), as well as yourself for each month of the baby up to 1 year.

Book Description

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.

A good read.......2007-10-08

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.

A wonderful read.......2005-06-06

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.
