Be a Great Divorced Dad

Summary: A Must for the Divorced Dad's Library
Review: I recently got this book to improve my relationship with my son who's four years old. I found the book to be easy to read with good and practical tips and information that I found invaluable. It had many things that I started using right away and they helped improve my relationship with my son from the beginning. The author is both a psychologist that councels divorced families along with a divorced dad himself. He offers both on-the-job learned perspectives from the counselor, dad, and child along with his own life experiences. Overall, I feel the book would be a great book to get if you would like to optimize your experiences as a divorced (or seperated) dad.

Summary: Both Practical and Comforting
Review: The author takes a very balanced and practical stance towards divorce and fatherhood. This book was recommended to me by a professional at my 5 year old son's school during my divorce. It was a painful time in my life, and the balanced and equitable tone of the book helped me to deal effectively with the divorce, and also to understand better what my ex-wife was going through, as well.

I appreciated how focused and tightly written the book was - while it was a quick read, it was quite rich in information. Once I finished reading the copy that was lent to me, I quickly purchased my own copy to read over again and use as a resource.

If you are a father going through a divorce, I would certainly recommend this book.
