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.

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
