The A-Z of Raising Smalls - A House Husband's View (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The truth about parenting kids by a full time house husband and father of three children

"Since man was created/climbed down out of the trees/arrived through some rift in time and space (delete as applicable) he has had to cope with the thorn issue of Raising Smalls."

A bold enough statement but not particularly true because it has actually nearly always been woman's role to take the primary parenting responsibility of raising children. But the times, they are a changing, and fathers now often find themselves in uncharted territory; at home, trying to cope with tasks that they have neither been genetically programmed nor socially trained to carry out. Where do these new house husbands begin?

There are many websites and parenting books filled with child care advice which is largely contradictory as experts extemporise on the latest research into child behaviour, each claiming that theirs is the answer to dealing with the difficult issues surrounding the raising of children.

This is not one of those. The author is not a parenting expert qualified in child psychology or a super nanny that can sort out problem children just by looking at them in a stern tone of voice. He is just a house husband, a father as adrift as any other. He has no parenting advice to offer but can, perhaps, share some of the pain of Raising Smalls.

Autorenporträt

As a child I was a reluctant reader. I didn't see it as reluctance, I just didn't see the point: there were comics and a picture is worth a thousand words right?

I am now an avid reader and regret missing out on so many good stories as a child. Fortunately, with children of my own, I'm now managing to catch up, reading stories to them every night before bed.

There isn't anything quite like a good book to let you escape from the world for a while. True, films are great, but they don't engage you as much as a book. A well written book will get your imagination working, filling the story with colour and energy: a film is a depiction of somebody else's imagination.

In fact, I enjoy reading stories to my children so much, I started to write my own. And bearing in mind my own reluctance to read as a child I have written them to be as engaging as possible, to draw the reluctant reader into a land of imagination and discovery.
