Of all the worldly experiences, nothing beats being a dad! But to enjoy this momentous new role to the max, you’re going to need some indispensable advice…from a man! For moms, there are a ton of books preparing them for every change and every stage. Let’s face it, the only set of instructions men get is the one in the pregnancy test. To make the process less daunting, you need to know exactly what new responsibilities you will have and what challenges lay ahead of you. This is why a dad of three has put together the man’s manual on pregnancy, babies, and toddlers.

An excellent parenting tool
They say there is no perfect parenting book, but The Road to Fatherhood is definitely one to add to your parenting toolbox. I found much sound advice and important information within this audiobook. It had me turning inwards to explore how my own experiences will influence how I intervene with my kids and impact my children' development. Even though this is directed towards dads, I highly recommend a listen to any and all parents out there,

I Wish I Had This Book Before I Became A Father!
Looking back now, having this book would have made me more aware of who I am and the areas of my life that need improvement. This book would have helped me during my time as a father when my kids were babies and toddlers. However, it's never too late to be the best father that I can be. This book helped me believe that.

GREAT ADVICE FOR ALL DADS!!!
My nephew and his wife are expecting their first child in June. For their baby shower, I searched for gifts for the baby, the mom and the dad. While searching for the dad/my nephew, this was an Audible suggestion that looked interesting. I had a chance to briefly look through the book before I wrapped it, and it had me chuckling. It has been about a 3 weeks since he received the book, and I am told he tries to listen part of it every night. He reports that it is a really good book: he is finding the content covers more than expected, and that the book is helpful.

There isn't another book like this
This book starts with a ton of compassion - we are simply not taught this stuff, and we need to support each other. This goes through everything you'll need to know, step-by-step, simply and effectively. It's really going to help you feel prepared. And less scared and less alone. Great narrator too.
