Loved this book!
I think everyone expecting a baby needs to read it. However, it’s definitely not a book everyone would be able to read, so maybe get the reader in the family to summarise for the other partner!
Good points:
• Well-researched facts about dads and their impact in families. It’s not just someone’s opinion, it’s actually backed up. The author is a university professor, so it is very informative and factual (this might make it hard to read if you’re not a big reader).
• It explains why dads are different to mums, and that that’s a really good thing. This is why I think all mums should read the book too. Dads aren’t supposed to be the same or do things the same way as mums, and that’s good for everyone to know.
• It explains some good points about kids’ needs, which other books haven’t really touched on.
• It’s about parenting both babies and kids, not just one or the other. It’s about dad’s involvement right from the start.
• It does talk about single parents too.
• It gives confidence to dads to be themselves.
Bad points:
• Not the easiest read if you’re not used to this style of writing (i.e. case study, research, facts).
• Mums are still important too, not just dads.
Recommended for:
• Dads-to-be
• Mums-to-be
• Dads with a baby or young kids who wants to be involved
• Mums with a baby or young kids
• It’s just as important for mums to understand the importance of their partner’s unique parenting style as it is for the partner.

An interesting and fairly useful read, but I'm not sure it has a great number of insights beyond some relatively well known (and even common sense) modern fathering advice. It's written in a very clear style, but I didn't find it highly compelling.

Claro y rápido, aunque me faltó un poco más de sustento y contrapuntos. Lo bueno es que me dio sustento para mi argumento de salir con el cabro chico a cazar mamuts con las manos

Pretty basic and a bit sexist. Not a great read but at least it's a quick one.

Fascinated by this book and experiments it detailed. Explained role of fathers really well and the impact they can have on their children. Now I look at my husband and how he parents in a new light.

A really well researched and plain language guide to bonding and attachment for fathers. A great mix of science and practical advice
