Book excerpt: Here is the first book written specifically for men who date while answering to a higher authority: their children. As a single father, you're ready to begin dating again. But are your kids ready? In this much-needed guide, relationship expert Ellie Slott Fisher comes to the rescue with no-nonsense, no-judgments advice on everything from how to ask a woman out to navigating the potential minefield of overnight dates. Single dads are as nervous as single moms about merging their parental responsibilities with their social lives, but they often don't have intimate friendships in which to share their concerns. Drawing on her own experience as a single parent, interviews and surveys she conducted with more than a hundred single fathers and their children, and the advice of family therapist Dr. Paul Halpern, Fisher gives the lowdown on a range of tricky topics, including: -When do I introduce my kids to the woman I'm dating? -What if they don't like her? -Is it acceptable to date someone closer to my child's age than my own? -Are sleepovers okay when my kids--or her kids--are home? -How do I give my children the reassurance they need while pursuing a social life of my own? Plus, how to avoid one of the biggest dating pitfalls: mistaking lust for love. From dealing with your ex-spouse to protecting your children's inheritance, and many issues in-between, Fisher gives single fathers the tools they need to be both sexy suitors and devoted dads.

Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom holds that fathers have few parenting skills and that mothers always know best. The single father is often considered a mythical creature, found only in sitcoms as an object of humor or pity. Where does that leave real single dads? Too often, it makes them susceptible to overcompensation or apathy. Tez Brooks knows those feelings all too well. He’s traveled that road with his own children after an unexpected divorce. The Single Dad Detour is the result of his journey and the lessons he’s learned along the way. It’s a guidebook for the rocky road of single fatherhood, extending encouragement, confidence, and challenges, using specific examples from dads who’ve survived parenting and have hope to offer. There are no unreachable requirements for perfect fatherhood here and no twisty theological mysteries—just authentic, downto- earth wisdom from one dad to another.

Book excerpt: As parents face the difficult reality of a broken home, a sense of being completely overwhelmed can shut down the perspective they need to find restoration. Parents need to know that they can choose to define this season of their lives, instead of becoming defined by circumstances. They can deliberately look toward God and come to a deeper understanding of His true nature, power, and intimate care. As this former Christian music industry executive shares his story of divorce, his seven years as a single father, and his transition to a second marriage and a blended family, he also offers readers some hard-learned lessons and insights on being an effective, empathetic, and empowered single parent, answering crucial questions such as: How do I find peace when everything around me is chaos? How do I manage meeting needs when I have nothing to give? How and where do I begin again? The author addresses the fears and exhaustion of single parenting, while revealing the keys to gaining strength and courage for each day. He also shares how he found his “solo” relationship with his heavenly Father through his “solo” parenting season. Readers will learn five helpful habits and practical healing principles they can immediately apply in this season of life.

Book excerpt: For many fathers going through divorce or separation the first time his children come to 'spend time with Daddy' is probably the first time he has had continuous, sole responsibility for more than a few hours yet alone days or even weeks at time. This is a practical book on all aspects of single parenting, from (the injustice of) family law and how to get over that - to how to handle a temper tantrum in a supermarket - to nutrition - to health. A sensible book on child welfare and basic child psychology - about understanding your children and, importantly, also about understanding self. The serious side gives way to the fun side of parenting with many humorous anecdotes; what to do on a wet Sunday, planning fun events, trips and holidays. Destruction of a family unit is a tragedy but only if you let it become so. Now is the opportunity to become an even better parent and an even better person. To share the fun of growing up - including growing up yourself - to be seen as more than a visitor by your children; to become a great and worthwhile Dad. Your future as a parent and your children's emotional future; a future of sharing love from both parents is now mostly, perhaps totally, in your control. This book was written by a man who experienced the pain of separation and the joy of fatherhood and is sensitively narrated - and has a happy ending.

Download or read book Life of a Single Father written by Fly Ty Unchained and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I would also like to say this is not to take a shot at single mothers or at women in general, I'm just giving my perspective on what it's like to be a single father in these days and times. I didn't ever think I would be in this position, it's really tough and an eye opener for me, especially as the time goes on. I would've never believed some of the stuff single fathers have to deal with if I didn't go through it first-hand myself. I know there are a lot of single mothers who deal with the everyday B.S. as well, and I'm definitely cognizant of that no question, but this is about dads and our struggles with visitation, child support, the courts, attitudes, spitefulness etc. Hopefully it will be an eye opener for you as well, especially if you're a single dad, or single mom going through it with a single dad at the present time. Even though you think it may never happen, I strongly hope your situation gets better for you, with patience and maturity I think it will. Peace...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I’ve experienced all the different roles you have to play when there’s nobody else around: a parent, a dad, a father, a stand-in mum, a confidant, always a butler or maid, a teacher and, most crucially, a friend.’ In this enlightening but also very practical book, Roger McEwan shares the lessons he’s learned from years as a solo dad. It is not, he insists, a self-help book. But amidst the rich, always fascinating, often hilarious experiences of his times with his two children are dozens and dozens of useful pieces of advice for parents – from developing a great relationship with your ex (if you can) to letting the children pick the clothes they want to wear, teaching them to cook, and acknowledging that changing a toilet roll is too complex for anyone under the age of eighteen to understand. **
