Great Expectations: Becoming a Dad:
The First Three Years
- by John C. Carr

John Carr book.jpg

I wrote this book in 2010, soon after my wife and I had our third child.  I realized I had a lot to say, not only as a father but as a therapist who worked with fathers.  Great Expectations: Becoming A Dad: The First Three Years has sold over 50,000 copies and remains a reliable source for new and expectant fathers.

 

My book covers not only practical “how-tos,” but also the more elusive, messy, emotional side of being a father. I also discuss the crucial impact a father's presence has on his child and ways to be present right from the start.

"First-time father here...I want to be parenting with my wife every step of the way, during and after her pregnancy, to help my child understand and thrive in the world--and this book is the first resource I've found that was specifically written to help men achieve that goal."
