The New Father: Your First Year of Fatherhood

with Armin Brott

This course is taught from a father's point of view, but is highly insightful for new mothers as well. The course starts with "Coming Home," the first week of life with the new infant, and continues month-by-month through the first year, charting the baby's physical, social, verbal, and intellectual development, and examining the emotional and psychological changes the new father may be experiencing. The course will cover a broad range of topics, including:

Coping with unexpected anxieties and fears
Working out sleeping and feeding schedules
Analyzing the baby's temperament
Anticipating how the baby will affect your relationship with your partner
Tips for building a close relationship with your child
Juggling your work and family roles
Introducing the baby to music, reading, and even computers
And much more

Delivered in Armin's trademark personal, humorous and easy-to-absorb style, this unique course is an essential tool to help fathers navigate the first year of fatherhood.
