When I became a Dad, or “Dad-dito” as my son – who is five – now calls me, (he just completed a dual Spanish/English language program in Pre-K) I was forty and in search of support and advice that would fit my world view. I found much for Moms but little for Dads so here’s my attempt to reach out to like-minded fathers everywhere. Here are some of my key beliefs – I believe in: being a highly involved father, having a family bed, breast-feeding, attachment parenting, playing with my son, non-violence, and making lots of mistakes but evolving through practice. I am constantly humbled at how difficult it is to be a father and even more in awe of mothers who bear the brunt of childrearing responsibilities.
