Summary: An easy to read handbook written by a dad for new dads
Review: 21st-Century Dad is an easy to read topic driven book men can relate to. The book is written for the first time dad but addresses issues that all parents face in their families. Dads who read the book will be more in-touch with the reality of supporting the pregnant mom through rearing a baby from birth to age two. In addition, dads will be exposed to the life altering issues (90 topics) all new parents encounter when adjusting to family life. The book is written to address the active, on the go life style, of the 21st-Century working dad, yet provides useful information for any first time parent.

Summary: "Must" reading for all novice fathers & parents-to-be!
Review: Douglas DeMichele's 21st Century Dad: A New Father's Game Plan To Child Rearing addresses such fundamental aspects of parenthood as the cost of having a baby; how much free time will there really be; the basics of changing a diaper, burping, clothing and bathing an infant; how to better understand the new mother through pregnancy, birth, and post partum; what modern dad's are expected to do around the home; resuming sexual intimacy; "the mini-van discussion"; such "firsts" as smiling, crawling, walking, tooth, professional photo, and time alone with baby; child-rearing discussions with Mom; and the typical 24-hour day with an infant and a 2 year old. 21st Century Dad is "must" reading for all novice fathers and parents-to-be.

Summary: Finally, a "What to Expect" book for dads!
Review: My husband never read any of my "baby" books (we have 2 kids). He read most of this one over my shoulder. As a 21st Century dad, he was anxious to read any excerpts that made me chuckle. Now it is his turn to enjoy this book. It was an easy read with lots of necessary information. The author's humor and insight made this book unique. I will buy it for future shower gifts!

Summary: Not just for Dads......its great for new aunts, uncles.....
Review: Oh this isn't just for daddy's out there. I am not a mother yet, but "21st Century Dad" has helped me with realistic expectations of possible parenthood. I appreciated not dealing with information overload by reading the easy format (bullet forms of lists and sidebars for those important highlights to remember). I especially paid attention to Dr. DeMichelle's emphasis on the importance of balance between mothers and fathers during stressful times. The book gave me ways to offer help with my nephews and nieces to provide their parents with quality time. Of course, I'll be sending this to family and friends with concerns about the essential basics necessary to start a family. What a great gift for all ages including grandparents having to relive those baby steps in the "21st Century".

Summary: Good Book, consider "Daddy Smarts"
Review: This book was ok, but I really liked Daddy Smarts by Bradley Richardson. If you only want to read one book, read Daddy Smarts instead.
