Editorial Review:

Product 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.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This series is fantastic
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!!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A good read
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.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A wonderful read
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.
