SACRAMENTO -- The study by First 5 California says that older dads more frequently feel they have nowhere to go for parenting advice than younger dads.

51-percent of dads over 40 have been at a loss of information when it comes to child rearing. 37-percent of dads under the age of 40 have experienced that same feeling.

85-percent of all dads in the state say they feel overwhelmed by their child's needs.

49-percent of the 401 California fathers with children under the age of six that were surveyed say that they were surprised by how much they didn't know about raising their children.
