Boot Camp for New Dads

Get ready for a crash course in the time-honored tradition known as Fatherhood.  If you’ve already heard the words, “Honey, I’m pregnant”, then you have no doubt already made copious preparations, read tons of books, taken every class imaginable, and are standing poised ready and willing to become a Dad!

Right?

Let’s face it, guys: we all need a little help in preparing to become “Dad”.  No man can say he is ready or confident when it comes to having a baby for the first time, and any man who does is either lying or owns stock in a diaper company.  The fact is we all need a little guidance as we become a parent, and even more guidance on how to turn fatherhood into “Daddy-hood”.  That’s where Boot Camp for New Dads comes in.

The Boot Camp for New Dads program is designed to give soon-to-be-Dads (a.k.a. “Rookie Dads”) a place to ask open, honest question and get open, honest answers.  We will guide you down the path you will soon be traveling and give you some major issues and points to consider, such as:

  • How do I stop my baby from crying?  Why are they crying in the first place?
  • All our relatives want to see our new bundle of joy at once... HELP!
  • I’ve never even carried an infant before, how do I bond with my child?
  • I feel like I’m doing everything wrong, where do I learn all of this stuff?
  • Am I the only one going through this?

Our Boot Camp Coach facilitates each class with experienced Dads present (a.k.a. “Veteran Dads”) with their babies to answer questions and share experiences with the group.  Sorry, Mom…no women over 6 months old allowed in the class.  This one is strictly for the Dads, allowing a completely open forum to discuss issues and topics geared towards Dad and baby.

Ask any soldier and they will tell you: the military is a special group of individuals that is forever bound by a common thread.  They consider themselves an elite club...a fraternit...a brotherhood.  Becoming a Dad is no different.  The difference with the Boot Camp for New Dads is that every member of our brotherhood continues to earn his stripes long after their baby is no longer a baby.  We all look ahead and aspire to be the best Dads we can possibly be, but always remember that every 5-star General started off as a Private before they reached greatness.  So fall in rookie Dad - THIS IS BOOT CAMP!
