Introduction -- The roots of fatherhood -- Conception: the genetic tug-of-war -- Fathers and pregnancy -- Engagement -- Infants -- Children -- Teenagers -- Older fathers -- What fathers do -- Afterword.
An award-winning journalist and father of five discusses the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence and into adulthood--and the importance of the relationship between mothers and fathers. In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves.
