There's a lot of us dads out there!

We've all had moments in which we wished our kids came with instructional manuals. Even though they don't...trust me, I've asked more than once...there are several sites out there that can help. Here is a short list I have come across. Share more! 

1. Dictionary for Dads - This site is great because, as the name implies, there is a vast amount of information. The goal of the site is to provide as much information about parenting as possible. Some of the information is directed specifically for dads. Some of the topics include: how to change a diaper, teething aids, daddy's lullabies, dad's internet safety, and much more! 

 2. Great Dad - On the home page there is the following message: "Because dads don't always think like moms." It presents itself as an online parenting resource with dad's point of view. It includes tips and news on parenting. The tips are organized by children's age groups. The site offers various medical and parenting resources as well as humor for dads. There's a valuable section called "We Recommend" that gives dads the opportunity to find out what other dads have purchased and why. 

 3. Dads Rights - This site has a very specific audience, but it is very important. It offers laws and rights associated with divorce, custody, and child support. It's organized by state because different states have different laws and rights for dads facing these situations. 

 4. Dads Adventure - This site offers advice for new dads. It gains trust through credibility. The site says the information is gained from over 200,000 fathers and has been reviewed by researchers to ensure accuracy. The site has articles and magazines. Two great features are the video section and the "ask dad" section. The videos are clips by real dads showing how to do a variety of parenting related activities that new dads might be unsure about (changing diapers, burping a child, holding a child, swaddling a child, etc.). The "ask dad" section allows visitors to post a question and have an experienced dad respond. 

 5. Fathers.com - This site is for new and veteran fathers. It has excellent articles organized by age level. It also has articles organized by the situation each father is in (adoptive dad, divorced dad, at-home dad, etc.). Another important section is "Hot Topics" featuring articles about daughters, sons, discipline, sex, education, etc.
