Fathers Shaping Child Development does what no previous textbook on human development has done before, it talks about how important fathers are to the upbringing and optimal development of their children. It focuses on fathers’ contribution to child development and covers the developmental periods from prenatal to adolescence. This text is intended to be used as a supplement to regular Developmental Psychology Texts such as currently used in courses covering Child psychology, Social and Personality Development, and Human Life-Span Development. Each chapter features a glossary and a student review section which includes multiple-choice, critical thinking essay and short answer questions.

This text features:

  • Emotional regulation
  • Social Development
  • Puberty
  • Language development
  • Gender development
  • Current Topics such as Delayed childbearing, Gay Dads, Stay-At-Home Dads

Maria Reid
Maria Reid is a Professor of Developmental Psychology at Florida International University where she teaches, both face to face and online, mostly Human Life-Span Development, and Social and Personality Development. Her research interests include the influence of parental (particularly fathers) on different aspects of child development and found the current texts on human development to be woefully lacking on information about fathers.  Hence this text, which is an extension of the informal slides she used to use to augment other texts. A married mother of three, Dr Reid credits her own strong relationships with her father and her Advisers and Mentors, Dr Gordon Finley and Dr William Penzer, as inspiration for this work.

I really liked the writing style of the book chapters. The chapters are easy to read and flow very smoothly. I believe that the writing style is conducive for the professor as well as undergraduate and graduate students. The content is very interesting given the information provided on a topic where fathers are not considered in the research. This fills an invaluable void in the literature and in the discipline. I also like the review sections at the end of the chapters. The information is very interesting and I believe will be engaging given the topics that augment the literature.
