For many men, transiting roles from dude to dad can be a frightening experience. There is help available through parenting classes. Many all-guy parenting classes are available that offer knowledge, experience and a new found confidence for being a first-rate dad.
The First Year – Firsts You Can Expect from Your Baby
Becoming a father is one of the greatest experiences in life. Nothing can adequately prepare you for how you will feel when your newborn baby reaches out his little hand to hold your finger. The breathtaking and terrifying journey called “parenthood” has begun. Perhaps at this point you find yourself thinking, “What happens now?”
First of all, you are not alone. There are many people around you who are willing and able to help. The baby’s pediatrician or family doctor will be one of your greatest assets. Be sure that you are taking your baby to a doctor whom you trust. If you have doubts or problems in any way, seek out a new physician.
Can You Ignore the Screaming?
If you are expecting a baby or have a new bundle of joy, you may wonder how you are going to deal with the stress of a screaming into-everything toddler. You have seen your friends kids, so you know that when babies become independent little people, they are also interested in the world around them. If things don’t go their way, they may just dissolve into a little bundle of screams, too. Luckily for you, chances are good that you will be able to handle your baby’s forthcoming tantrums with compassion.
The Joy Of A New Baby
If you are on the verge of becoming a new father, then you may be worried about whether this will be a joyous experience that you ought to be looking forward to, or whether you are in for a nightmarish experience that will effectively end your life as you know it. It is definitely true that you won’t be able to do a great many things that you have hitherto enjoyed in your life. You won’t be able to rush out to the bar to meet your work buddies at a moment’s notice simply to hang out with them and to discuss sports and politics. You probably won’t be able to continue enjoying all the clubs and hobby groups that you have relied upon to give meaning to your life. The manner in which you plan your weekends will certainly change: you may not be able to throw those huge Sunday football sports parties for you and your friends any longer.
