your new family fatherhood
your little one as often as you can — your chest against your baby’s. A good time is in the shower when your baby can feel your skin on his. Hold your child close to your beating heart, and this will begin a heart entrainment between you that is sure to last a lifetime. 7. Create a peaceful environment. Try not to argue in front of your baby. Keep her world as peaceful as you can. Soft music rather than a loud TV will help enormously. 8. Embrace bedtime. As children begin to grow, make bedtime one of the most important times to connect with them. Bedtime stories are a great way to send your kids off to sleep — begin reading to them as early as possible. There is so much more being communicated than just the words. 9. Remember that love is everything. Surround your children in a sea of love. Not only with you kids, but with your partner as well. Remember, your children are watching
you all the time. 10. Fatherhood is the greatest gift! Nothing compares to being a dad. It allows you to feel the deepest love imaginable, and gives you the greatest opportunity to invest your life in someone else’s. Enjoy every moment you can, because children will grow up quickly before your very eyes. Your most wonderful memories will be of holding your eyes and feeling the unconditional love that only a baby can bring. I wish you nothing but joy and happiness in
your journey ahead.
