The essential guide to all aspects of fatherhood in your child's second and third years, from the best-selling author of The Expectant Father and The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year. At what age should your child be walking and talking, and should you be concerned if she isn't? How much (and what) TV should you let him watch? And how can you pick the best preschool? The answers to these questions, and hundreds more, are found in the pages of this information-packed volume, the third installment of the New Father series trusted by millions of dads nationwide. Author Armin Brott devotes a chapter to every three months of your child's second and third years. In each chapter, he breaks down: * Your child's physical, intellectual, verbal, and emotional/social development; * What you're experiencing emotionally and psychologically, as a father; * Age-appropriate activities you can enjoy with your child; and What's going on with your family: your relationship with your partner, sibling relationships, household finances, and more. This new edition of The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the Toddler Years (formerly titled Fathering Your Toddler) has been thoroughly updated to cover the topics that dads are dealing with today, from the changing demands of the workplace to the pleasures and pitfalls of sharing photos and videos of your child on social media. It incorporates the latest research on child development, as well as the real-life experiences of the author and hundreds of other fathers. Delightful New Yorker-style cartoons are sprinkled throughout, underscoring the universal joys and woes of fatherhood. Dads will rely on this book - and moms will find it full of helpful insights as well.
