In your on going quest to become the best father you can be, I know you have been scouring the books, surfing the web and asking advice from everyone. You have read about Prenatal Care, the stages of fetal development and even prenatal learning! (if you have not learned about prenatal learning check out www.babyplus.com) Some of you brave blokes have probably even talked to someone about breast feeding. That’s very important. Well we are not going to talk about that here.
I am going to tell you how you can have a great impact on your child. You just have to remember one thing. The Mother-To-Be. If your mom-to-be is a happy mom, everyone is happy. I took a survey in my office about the most thoughtful thing a man could do for the mom-to-be in his life, and many of them said. “Take the kids out of the house so I could have some alone time in my own house.” Yes, gentlemen, it’s a simple request, doesn’t cost much and means so much to her.
So why not gather up the kids one day and take them away? It could be as low key and a trip to the local park or playground. Take sandwiches so you don’t have to spend a bundle at the fast food restaurant. Take them to the libra
ry for some reading program. Libraries are full of activities for kids of all ages. You can always go visit Grandma and Grandpa. There just might be some good treats there!
After a long day with you, bring the kids home and keep them calm and quiet. If you are really good, you can even put them to bed! Your mom-to-be will think she’s in heaven and you will have created a life long memory for you and your children.
It’s easy – now go out and do it.
