Good Resources for Working Dads

---

10 years ago, there were a handful of dads’ parenting books on the market (many of which ran with a predominantly jokey-theme).  Now, thankfully, there are a whole host of options available for dads who want to learn more about parenting, as well as the huge issue of getting the right parenting/working balance.

Here are some of our favourites:
