Great Fathers initiator Dave Owens says: �When I first came across the articles of Dr Robin Fancourt, her book Brainy Babies and the Brainwave Trust - and began to understand how fragile and impressionable young babies brains are - I felt a huge sense of anguish. I realised what I hadn�t known when I was a young dad. And I felt that the lives of my children might have been different had I known then what I was just learning. Okay, I understand the neuroscience wasn't well defined back then, and no one was really aware of the fundamental importance of a baby's first three years. But it is available now. I feel compelled to make what is known - about babies and parenting - widely available � and in a way that dads can really take it in. I want to provide information that helps and encourages men to be the best dads they can be."
Dad's Toolbox has information that will answer most questions. Check it out.
