At what age should you introduce your child to computers? How do you handle adult separation anxiety when your child starts preschool? This informative volume provides answers to these questions and many more. Author Armin Brott dedicates a chapter to every three months of the second and third years, detailing the physical, intellectual, verbal, and emotional changes in children, while also addressing the emotional and psychological developments fathers may experience. He explores potential issues between fathers and their partners and discusses family dynamics. Each chapter features a “You and Your Child” section, highlighting age-appropriate activities and topics. The revised edition includes the latest research on child development, particularly brain growth, and offers additional guidance for older, single, or military dads, as well as stepfathers and stay-at-home dads. New topics cover helping children cope with loss, health and safety concerns, and caring for special-needs children. With personal anecdotes from the author and other fathers, along with insights from leading researchers, this guide is a vital resource for dads and offers valuable perspectives for moms as well. The delightful illustrations enhance the universality of parenting experiences.
