When we talk about new parents, there is a tendency to focus on the moms and babies. Dads often get dismissed or pushed to the sidelines. But today, dads are more involved with their children than in previous generations. New research is showing that dads do better psychologically and are more confident in their role function if they get involved right away, during the first year of their baby’s life.

This episode explores this issue more to see how fathers can positively influence the health and well-being of their infants, their partners, and, as an added bonus, themselves.

New episodes are published each Tuesday so stay tuned for more science-based Proactive Parenting information.

Proactive Parenting is based on validated theories and scientific research to provide the information you need to care for your modern family. Not everyone grew up in a completely healthy family of origin and consequently may be unsure of how to be a parent when they start a family. Proactive Parenting was created for parents who need a solid foundation to start raising their children, and for parents who want to do better. It is a way to move past old behaviours, break unhealthy habits, and replace them with parenting actions that will lead to a healthy family life for both children and parents.
