Perlman authored a book entitled A Nurturing Father's Journal which is a workbook format created to engage men/fathers in an interactive process to explore and strengthen their nurturing skills. A wealth of information and practical tools are presented, along with questions that guide the father to write his own attitudes, values, experiences and feelings about each area.

"I really did learn a lot especially on how to talk to my family. I must talk to them by using eye contact. I will kneel down and talk to my son at eye level. It really does work! My wife has noticed the big change in me. I would recommend this fathering program for every father out there in the world. There is always room for improvement. I'm just sorry to see it end."
Married, Head Start father of 4 year old
