Different Dads is a collection of inspiring personal testimonies written by fathers of children with a disability who reflect on their own experiences and offer advice to other fathers and families on the challenges of raising a child with a disability.The fathers featured represent a broad spectrum of experience. Their contributions reflect a wide range of cultures; some are single fathers, others are married adoptive fathers. What they all have in common are the challenges that face them and their families in raising a child with a disability. Issues explored include the reactions of family, friends and colleagues, how to deal with the organisations and professionals that support families with a disabled child, and the difficulty of being open about feelings in a culture that doesn't always expect men to have a sensitive or nurturing role.Offering direct and thoughtful perspectives on being a father of a child with a disability, this book will be a valuable source of support and information for families with disabled children, and also for health and social care professionals who work with these families.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 157mmItem Width: 5mmItem Weight: 266gContributor: Jill Harrison (Edited by), Matthew Henderson (Edited by), Rob Leonard (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Personal Development, Parenting, MedicineAuthor: Jill HarrisonRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
