More about what we doYour role as a father begins in the moment that you learn that the mother is pregnant! In addition to the typical questions men ask as new fathers, ask yourself: “What skills will he need in life? How can I guide him to develop character, judgement, and self-reliance? How can I help him learn from set-backs? What is my strategy and plan to equip him for happiness and success and when is the age-appropriate time based on his temperament and interests?"
More for new fathersBy now you have realized that your role as a father changes on a daily basis as your child matures. Question to ask yourself during the years of 7 to 11 are: “What memorable experiences can I create with him? Which values will best serve him to internalize? How can I increase his competence and confidence? How can I help him to think for himself?”
