DUDE TO DAD Offers Advice for Parenting
By: Christina Mancuso May. 28, 2013
Everyday guys will discover a genuine perspective and practical guide to excelling in the fresh, new world of parenting in the book Dude to Dad (Familius, May 2013) by Hugh Weber. Dude to Dad provides first time dads and the new daddy-to-be with real-life perspective, encouragement and humor as they face the inevitable realization that their carefree "dude" days are over, and the days of fathering a living, breathing human being have begun.
In Dude to Dad, Weber confronts the initial feelings of fear and self-doubt experienced by first-time dads with irreverent anecdotes and candid instruction on how to confidently take on the role of parenting. While the avalanche of dirty diapers, late night crying spells, and spousal demands may seem like an uphill battle, Dude to Dad lays out the secrets to parenting success, including the following instructions:
- Identify your allies
- Be aware of the curveball
- Know your limits
- Be fully present
- Raise a child of possibility
"This book is meant to help usher ordinary dudes into the next chapter of their lives, better able to talk the talk, walk the walk, and be the extraordinary dad they strive to be," says author Hugh Weber.
Providing funny, frank and to-the-point strategies for effectively raising a child, Dude to Dad is much more than your typical medical or parenting guide book; it serves as every dude's valuable resource for balancing the demands of parenthood, marriage, and personal sanity.
