In this course you will find eight different topics around fatherhood that will be analyzed and discussed for you. The course is for soon to be fathers; fathers of young babies; and anyone interested in the role of the father in modern society. This course is not about how to deal with children, but how a father can grow personally. Frank Pittman said it beautifully when he wrote “The guys who fear becoming fathers don't understand that fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man. The end product of child raising is not the child but the parent." This course is designed to be a starting point for this journey.
So, welcome to this course about becoming a father. It fills me with joy knowing that you are listening to this. It also fills me with joy that you are considering becoming a father, or that you already are a father, or that you are generally interested in the role of the father. It fills me with joy, because I know how fulfilling it is to be a father, to have a child, to create a family. It is the single most meaningful and beautiful thing I have done in my life so far, and I believe it has the same potential for everyone else.
