We’ve been focusing on mom’s the past week but I don’t want you dads to feel left out. Do you remember where you were when you found out you were going to be a dad? What about that moment when your eyes met your baby’s for the first time? Becoming a father is an exciting, somewhat overwhelming, life changing event. And while a mother and father are going through this at the same time, the experience is different. The emotions are different…the perspective is different…
What if you…dads…could get an inside look into this thing called fatherhood…from that first plus sign all the way to “It’s A boy/girl?” Moms…wouldn’t you like to know what your significant other is REALLY thinking? Now you can with a parenting series by and for dads. Being Dad, and it’s soon-to-be released sequel are parenting DVDs aimed at helping fathers understand pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. Here is a little more information about both titles from the site:
Being Dad is a surprising, hilarious and unexpected insight on pregnancy to delivery from 40 dads who survived it. In intriguing accounts by remarkably honest new fathers from all walks of life, all over the US, the common thread of relief these men feel, having recently survived the pregnancy and delivery process, is entertainingly revealed in the personal experiences they share.
Being Dad 2 follows the transformation in the lives of dozens of new dads from around the world as they share their experiences, missteps and advice on becoming a father. Surprising, funny, poignant and revealing, Being Dad 2 will help men everywhere better prepare for the joys and challenges every new father faces once the baby comes home.
My husband and I took some time on several nights to watch both DVD’s that we were sent to preview. My husband thought the series was ” informative, humorous, and a great way to give guys perspective on becoming a father.” We both laughed and I cried (particularly during the segment on premature births). We found ourselves nodding and shaking our heads in agreement as we reminisced.
There was a time in my career where I taught childbirth education classes for the hospital I worked at. I remember how creative I needed to be to engage the fathers-to-be. I think that segments of this series should be incorporated into childbirth education classes across the country. Fathers are taking a more active role and I think the series does a good job of modeling this. Both series are comprehensive and even talk about the most difficult subjects such as sex, miscarriage, premature birth, and postpartum depression. These are difficult subjects, but they’re also real struggles that families face. It is important to bring these topics out into the open for discussion. The expert advice intermingled throughout Being Dad, makes this series more than just an entertaining venture.The series does a great job at identifying common fears and anxieties while providing the assurance and confidence dad’s need. Much of life’s struggles and arguments can be traced to a break in communication. Both partners are encouraged to talk about these issues as they arise.
Being Dad is availabe now on DVD. The sequel, Being Dad 2 is scheduled to be release on May 5. Both titles can be purchased online and retail for $29.99 each.
