Armin Brott - "Mr Dad" (US)
Fatherhood... there's no question that dads are important. Kids with active fathers
are happier and better adjusted than those without. Nevertheless, we're bombarded
with images of neglectful, uninterested, deadbeat, and lazy dads. These images
begin with the announcement of the pregnancy, through childbirth and into the
childrearing process. The impression one gets is that fathers aren't nearly as
important as mothers. The truth is that men and women make different -- but equally
important -- contributions to their children's development. This website will
give fathers the support, encouragement, and tools they need to be successful
in their fatherhood role.

crazy? Or is maybe something else going on, something you’re not supposed

with vivid images and examples to help you see clearly what’s really going
on between men and women. And why you’re right for thinking something is
very, very wrong."
