This new edition focuses more directly on the five questions fathers commonly ask There is a new chapter reviewing the latest research demonstrating the impact fathers have on their children. Greater recognition is given to the emerging group of men who are actively seeking to be highly involved as fathers. More options are provided for this group. Greater emphasis is given to family patterns where both parents share paid work and caring. New material has been added to the team parenting and couple relationship sections. The chapter on integrating work and family has been substantially revised and covers the latest trends and options for men to take either parental or paternity leave. It seems that what new fathers are wanting has continued to change over the last five years. The authors show that contemporary men want to: have a strong and enduring relationship with their children; be actively involved in the day-to-day care of their children; share the parenting and paid work equally with their partner; take extended leave from paid work to be the primary caregiver for a period of time; and reduce their hours of work (for example, to part-time) to be highly involved in caring for their child.
