A book for a dad of a one year old son

[BrightSunshineyDay]

Hi can anyone recommend a good book for the father of our one year old son please?

What kind of book?

I think you need to give more information, OP!

Oops sorry my phone died!
Ds dad is very traditional in his thoughts with regards to roles/presents/upbringing but when I try to discuss things with him I feel he doesn't take on board what I am saying merely because it is me saying it. He regards himself as progressive but his actions say otherwise.
Just wondered if there was a 'gentle' introduction type of book that he could read that would make him think about automatic choices he makes with regard to our son?

I really gope that makes sense. I've had 2 hours sleep last night and a ridiculous row with him re boys only toys

Oh and we are not together.

I am relieved to hear you aren't together .

Cordelia Fine "Delusions of Gender" might be good? Especially if he likes a bit of science with his theories.

Thankyou! Ds is my 3rd son - I've managed to raise my other 2 boys (& daughter) quite well I.think but on this I fear a battle! Really don't want it to be.

The other thing I was thinking about was the Let toys be toys campaign. I don't know if they have any literature as such but it might be something to point him at for ideas or reasons why its a good idea to let kids play with a whole range of toys.

Commando dad is good as its written by an ex army guy!

Achilles Heel is good.

I found The Equality Illusion, by Kat Banyard really good for opening my eyes to Feminism.

What makes you think he will read it??

If she doesn't try, he definitely won't though, will he numbers?

true

Thankyou for all your suggestions. I told him about the books and sent him a link to the let toys be toys website. Just recieved this response from him
'I've had a good look at he link.totally see your point now.I don't feel I was sexist in my thinking before...gender targeted marketing wasn't something I'd even payed much attention to.now I see how powerful an influence it is and how limiting to boys and girls.I'm sorry about how we got here but at least we got here.it is important and thank you for bringing it up'
So he has recieved the recommendations well and hopefully will follow through.
Thanks again! :)
