Many years ago a “new parent suggestion” booklet was given to us. It featured timeless advice from college students for the expectant mom and dad, as uniquely expressed as I’ve ever seen. Samples:

While most of the above advice is tongue-in-cheek, that last point is obviously a keeper.

Why not take the suggestion to hug your child – today, several times – and say, “I love you.” It’ll take only a moment, but I promise the positive effects will linger a long, long time.

By the way, if you need additional encouragement as a new father, I hope you’ll download the free chapter from my book, and other free resources, from the links at your right.
