Fathering Your School-Age Child(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Following the success of the three previous volumes in this
series–The Expectant Father; The New Father: A Dad’s Guide to the
First Year; and Fathering Your Toddler–this new book is similarly
packed with facts, tips, and advice on all aspects of fatherhood.
When is it the best time to encourage a child’s independence?
What’s the difference between daycare vs. preschool? What are the
unique ways fathers impact their youngster’s life? The answers to
these questions and hundreds more are found in the pages of this
easy-to-follow, informative volume. With wisdom, compassion, and
humor, author Armin Brott devotes a chapter to each school year
from pre-kinder-garten through the fourth grade. In each chapter he
outlines the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social changes
the child is going though, and examines the emotional and
psychological development the father may be experiencing. He also
discusses issues that develop between dad and mom 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. Other topics
cover the latest research on child development, including brain
growth, good and bad news about watching television, and the use of
computers and other technology. There is ample advice for dads who
are older, single, divorced, in the military, stepfathers, and
stay-at-home dads, and the book incorporates the author’s and other
fathers’ personal experiences, as well as the advice of top
researchers in the field. Illustrated throughout with delightful
New Yorker cartoons that underscore the universality of the joys
and woes of parenting, Fathering Your School-Age Child is an
essential sourcebook for every dad. It’s certain to give every mom
helpful insights as well.
