Parenting

Forget the laid-back lifestyle and late-night socialising; instead you've got to learn a whole new role, and fast. From Lad to Dad is a rare book that is designed especially for fathers and realises that the emotional adjustment for a father-to-be can be just as dramatic as that of a mother-to-be. In this supportive guide, Stephen Giles shares his ignorance, humiliations, frustrations, inadequacies and along the way guides you through the minefield of dismissive midwives, scary hospital visits, mood swings and the looming prospect of having to reinvent himself as a halfway-decent dad. "This is worth looking at if you need a book for a bloke who is just embarking on fatherhood" Families Magazine "This light-hearted, practical guide, focusing on the emotional journey, should be another winner for this excellent small publisher."
