About the book

Fatherhood 101—without the trial-and-error.David George's father died when he was three months old. As the youngest in his family—and the only boy—he had no male role model. When he married, he had two children—both boys. David, an award-winning advertising copywriter, had to figure everything out for himself, asking: “Did I make the right decision?” “Was I a good or a bad dad?”The result is Good Dad/Bad Dad, a Daddy 101 manual—minus the trial and error. Topics range from baby-proofing your house to setting up a 529 college plan and everything in between. Conversational, boisterous, and sometimes irreverent, it's like getting expert advice from a favorite buddy, with humor and a whole lot of heart.

Subjects: Family & Relationships, Nonfiction, Fatherhood, Father and child, Parenting, Child rearing
