Lucky for you, I’m Going to Be a Dad: Now What? has done the research for you, compiling all the information needed for first- time fathers. Starting with the moment you found out you were expecting, this book takes you through your role in the parenting process.

You will learn what to expect as your child grows up and different games to play with your child to help develop their skills.

Above all, you will learn how your role as a father will vary from that of the mother and how to juggle between working, being a father, and spending time with your partner. This book will guide you through the earliest days of your child’s life to the learning phases of toddler years as you learn how to be a first-time father. Welcome to fatherhood!
