Claim Your SpotHere's my first-ever photo as a dad. I had no idea of the type of dad I wanted to be. In my head, my visions of family life had been walks in the park, bike rides and throwing a ball around a field. I didn't even consider all of the nappy changes, rocking to sleep,Ā burping and sleepless nights I had ahead of me.
I didn't have a network of dad friends, so I mentally bypassedĀ the early weeks and months and jumped to toddler life.
I will say, I did receive one piece of parenting,
Friend: "There's not much you can do until they're walking mate!"
Me: "Great! Thanks for that! Super helpful!"
This is completely untrue! There'sĀ so much we can do as dads during the newborn days. It isn't always easy but when we realign our expectations of what those early days, weeks and months look like with our new baby, then there are lots of tiny moments we're able to savour.
Build your network with access to theĀ Community.
You'll immediatelyĀ get lifetime access to theĀ Community. It's accessible via a downloadable app or on a web browser. You can access and read the handbook, engage with other dads, complete weekly challenges, and jump into the live calls to chat with me and the other dads in your cohort.
Note: You'll beĀ navigating through theĀ academy alongside other dads in the same phase of parenting life as you. You'll have access to a private chat with them via the community, but also a group chat with all dads that have enrolled in the academy.
Why do so many dads struggle in the first year?
One wordĀ - Expectations!
The driving factor behind launching this academyĀ was to provide dads with the community and support they need and deserve throughout the first year with their little ones.
š An analysis of 43 studies suggested that 10.4% of new fathers experienced mental health issues.
Dads are more likely to hide mental health issues during pregnancy and the perinatal period because of societal pressure to support their family. Also,Ā men typically do not expect any support for themselves during things like antenatal classes, perceiving their role as a support to the mother.
The Becoming Dad Academy is here to help,Ā it encourages dads to talk, get hands-on, and explore all of the information I wish I had access to at the start of my parenting journey.Ā
InĀ the academyĀ you'll explore:
Understanding your new role
Communicating with your partner
BuildingĀ an emotional connection
Fun baby activities
Infant sleep patterns
Effective sleep strategies
TheĀ science of crying
Comforting techniques
Growth and development
Staying calm
Cognitive development
Preparing for toddlerhood
š¬ Hear from dads just like you!

Working a busy job and having other interests, I don't have capacity to study modern textbooks on parenting. Tom synthesizes vital information on parenting. He has fundamentally changedĀ my approach and has helped to foster a better connection with our kids. Thank you Tom!

Without this, I would have never known and practised this in my parenting. I learned to listen to my daughter and pay real attention to her feelings and how she is reacting. I know this approach has helped my daughter in her progress in life.

I love The Dad Vibes. Thanks for sharing your input. Parenting doesn't come with a book, and what works one day, may not work the next, but sharing some ideas and perspectives is only helpful. I love your approach.
