Resources for Stay at Home Dads

The first place to go is www.slowlane.com, the online resource for at-home dads (Or, AHDs, as we call ourselves). Slowlane has tons of resources, articles and links-including links to many local AHD groups. I also strongly recommend the At Home Dad Newsletter, a fun, useful periodical - get subscription info by emailing Athomedad@aol.com

Often, your community's Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) program will have information about local AHD groups or resources, too. I'd also recommend my own book about fathering daughters; while not specifically an AHD book, it is based on many years of being an at-home dad with my twin girls: Dads and Daughters: How to Inspire, Support and Understand Your Daughter (Broadway Boos, 2003) And, of course, your husband should check out www.dadsanddaughters.org - the website of the national Dads and Daughters nonprofit.

He's one lucky guy!
