Recommended books for fathers to be.
-
The Connected Father by Carl Pickhardt (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007), developed out of the author’s long experience as a family therapist, and underpinned by a good research base, is full of insights and useful strategies. Unlike most ‘parenting’ books and ‘parent’ education, Pickhardt’s gender-awareness is strong. Without exaggerating differences between mothers and fathers or boys and girls, he identifies key issues for fathers (and mothers) in parenting sons and daughters. He is brilliant on ‘fathering a teenage daughter’.

Let’s help men enjoy pregnancy! |
|
Much has been written about the experiences of women during pregnancy,
however, less is known or said about the experiences of men during this
life changing period. As women we may misunderstand the emotional
needs of men at this time. Finding out that you are going to be a
father for the first time can bring a whole mix of emotions. These
feelings can be even stronger if the baby was unplanned or if conceived
with assisted conception.
