Being a dad for the first time
Becoming a parent for the first time has a life-changing impact on both the mother and father, but how does the dad transition to parenthood? Attendance of father in childbirth is considered important.
Being a better or best dad requires effort, as per Dad is Life. To adjust support and care during childbirth to the needs of the first time dads, a deeper insight and study must be gained to their experiences. Whilst the effort is immense but so are the rewards.
After all the anxiety about a safe and delivery, also adds the train of thought of what the baby would look like, what name to give and how to make the little angel's life better.
Parenting style to choose as a father
Before starting choosing parenting style, your goal must be clear. Some questions needs to be answered. What do you want to achieve? How do you want your child to behave? How about your spouse, what kind of child does she wants?
These questions could help you to see and get the long term vision on your parenting. According to Project Father, your spouse will play a big part as you in the development of the child. When the child sees that his parents are communicating well, they have better foundation in place. Through that, problems can be avoided. Parenting is about guiding.
There are three styles of parenting that could be utilized which can be tried to gain awareness of what's best style for each father. (1) Authoritarian father, creates a very clear idea of what is acceptable behavior and what is not. This practice discipline, along with this is the consequence that needs to be taken to be responsible of their actions; (2) Uninvolved father, this kind lacks enthusiasm and love to their children. This kind of style might affect the child's relationship to the father negatively; (3) Permissive father, doesn't get upset and just let the child do what he wants. Anywhere else, these styles are an imperfect art. These are continuously changing. Whatever it may be fatherhood is something that needs the help and support of each member of the family.
