Book Description
This book is based on original research which shows how better father-child relationships can be encouraged by enhancing a whole family’s well-being.
It points to a holistic approach to interventions, where parents understand the impact of their behaviour on children. In doing so, they can build mutually-supportive relationships, and fathers can develop confidence in their parenting and communication skills.
